Odd comment in this thread.

As the PC party moved leftwards on the political spectrum, or became a more centrist party, under Stelmach and then moreso under Redford they became much less fiscally responsible.

Under Ralph Klein they undoubtedly were more fiscally conservative and payed down our entire debt.

It's this shift that led to the creation of the Wildrose party in the first place.
