I always here this refrain that we have a spending problem, but the provincial Cons and Feds have never been able to make cuts to prove there is all that much waste. People just don't want to admit things cost money, and if we want nice things, we have to pay for them.
It is an issue from the old provincial and federal governments carried into the new governments with have no intention of changing.

Most you can definitely blame on the past governments but now it's up to the new governments to correct this immediately especially since they have campaigned on change. This change would be better with decreased spending rather than increasing taxes.

This is a good article from a right leaning institution that puts most of the blame on the provincials PCs. NDP need to act on this.
