I really don't understand the lower taxes argument by people in this province. We pay 10%. How much lower do people expect it go without SERIOUSLY impacting the things that in the next breath you bitch about?? Less taxes = fewer nurses, no highways, more debt, and simply passes the buck to the next generation to figure out (I'm 34). If anything this province needs higher taxes because with the O+G windfalls we still can't figure out how to balance a ####ing budget. Gross incompetence doesnt quite cut it.

Sure we bitch about Redford wasting tens of thousands and how government is inefficient. I hate it as much as the next guy, but I do believe it's small potatoes. edit: to clarify, the efficiencies lost by the government are no worse than any very large company(CNRL/Suncor, etc.). We absolutely need to keep our politicians honest and accountable.

I can't stand the PC's in this province and don't know who to vote for. Maybe someone with an accounting degree that isn't a social right wing zealot.
