Face the facts: Alberta has the lowest level of government revenues per unit of GDP than any province.
Alberta has the lowest level of program expenses per unit of GDP than any province.
Alberta relied on approximately 1/5 of their revenue to come from oil and gas royalties. That was projected to be $9 billion over the past year. This year, should oil prices hold, they would effectively receive no royalties. 1/5 of your entire budget is up to something that's totally out of your control.
Yet that's not the problem is it?
No no, it's <mouthfoam>
Redford and Stelmach and all their spending and gettin in the way of the economy and us doing our jobs </mouthfoam>
Just ridiculous.
