He only has to look at his own governments policies and the absolute overspending based on oil royalties and revenues.
It doesn't take a mathematician to calculate the average price of oil over 10 years, 20 years, etc. and base monetary policies on this. It's only very recent since it was part of their tax income at the provincial level on royalties.
Finally, the fiscal spending isn't showing up in infrastructure and services. Edmonton roadways, etc are falling apart. The healthcare system is in major need of re-vamp. Hospitals are under funded and not as he describes.
The scary part is he can say whatever he wants because there is no opposition at this point.
