Alberta voters are childish. It needed to be said. Anyone who thinks they can have modern schools, roads, and hospitals and the highest public spending in the country while paying the lowest taxes by far is a child. If you punish any government that proposes to raise taxes, while demanding that hundreds of new schools be built, and medical centres in the smallest rural centres kept running, you're a child. If you think the gravy train of energy royalties will last forever, you're a child.

"Look in the mirror" was about the mildest way to express the gulf between what Alberta voters expect and what they're willing to pay for.
