Indeed they have, but the NDP have not. So, if choosing between NDP and Liberals, it's a point for the Liberals.

A question worth posing though is: why, if the Liberals are going to double infrastructure spending, was their big announcement for Calgary at most a 3.3% increase from what the Conservatives have pledged?

I'd like to see them either show that the infrastructure needs that the doubling are going address are stronger elsewhere in the country, or announce something that would increase Calgary's funding. Otherwise, it appears that the infrastructure proposal becomes another wealth transfer out of Calgary.
