A $2.4 billion drop in resource revenue has put Alberta on pace for a deficit of between $3.5- and $4 billion — one of the highest deficits in history, Finance Minister Doug Horner revealed Tuesday in the province’s third quarter fiscal update.The sea of red ink will be four times deeper than was forecast in the budget last February. The province initially predicted an $886 million deficit, but by the second quarter had increased its deficit forecast to $2.3 to $3 billion.
Now it’s forecast to be $1 billion more, which will rival the $4 billion deficit the Don Getty government posted in 1986-87.

I'll just sum up the talking points.
1) It doesn't matter because the Wildrose would be just as bad.
2) It's impossible to reduce government spending.
3) The parking lot at Chinook Centre was full today, that proves nobody cares.
4) If you don't agree with that you are with the terrorists.
