Most people in Alberta have done quite well (financially) under successive PC governments since the Klein years.

That's sort of the issue, isn't it?
Sort of. The other outstanding issue is that public service programs have come fairly cheap for Albertans because they're fueled by resource revenue and not taxes.

Status quo for the short term thinking Albertan is pretty darn good. No PST, lots of opportunity and lots money to be made. So they kept voting PC for 40 years. But as soon as you start thinking long-term, it becomes a different story.
