But one thing that I disagree complete with you is that most Albertans reject a tax and spend socialist paradise...they want that, and they don't want to pay for it, believing instead that 'the oil' should pay for it, and leave their taxes low while they get as good if not better services than can be found in the rest of the country because they are in Alberta.

I actually agree with you 100% on this, it's been criminal the way the PC's have used resource revenues; pretending to be fiscally conservative via low taxes whilst spending more than any liberal party's wildest dreams.
IMO, the last election should have been more about choosing between the liberal party who believed in raising taxes to support current spending or the wildrose who wanted to cut spending to match revenues, but instead we got the same old PC's because of a few stupid comments from social dinosaur.
Hopefully we will see a real choice for Albertans in the next election instead of stealing wealth from future citizens to fund our current desires.
