So what you're saying Slava, is that this budget was a 'stay the course' budget? Insignificant cuts and taxes means this fiscally conservative government basically did nothing at all to help Alberta out of their oil dependency.
Regardless, and back to your previous question about why the change of heart from Brian Jean...
Brian didn't like Danielle but he did like what he thought Prentice was about. He liked Prentice's platform and thought he would be good for the province. A few months later, Prentice shows his true colours and gets Danielle on his side which proves to Brian how he felt about Danielle and colours Prentice in his mind as someone who is more interested in the politics of politics than in what is best for Albertans. Hence, he decides to run for the leadership of the newly leader-less party whom he did feel closely resembled his own leanings, however was previously under poor leadership.
I don't really get what's hard to fathom about him changing his mind.
