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.

lol yes don't put any blame on the policy makers themselves.
I will agree with you overall though. Just look how 90% of the people on here reacted to the Oil Royalty Review and increased Corporate Tax. They don't want to pay more personal tax, they don't want their corporations to be taxed more as that probably means less money for them in terms of jobs/salary and they still want all of their interchanges and schools.
The people are dumb and the PC's are dumb for pandering to them and only once they realized they're #####ed do they start talking about it.
Ridiculous
