For once, I'm with crazy.

It seems though like the real policy question here is why is Alberta program spending more expensive than other provinces?

I would assume that there's some gristle to trim after a party has been in power for 43 years but I'm fairly sure that that's just drops in the bucket. Is a province with high labour costs just destined to have higher per capita costs for the government to do business?

It would seem like Klein did cut back to the bone in the 90s, have all of those gains grown in again?

Would a province with big infrastructure needs from big resource projects simple have higher costs? Would a province with large net in-migration have higher per capita costs because of the transaction costs at least in the short term?

Or is it just waste and incompetence. It's a pretty pivotal question.
