Some additional spending not noted in the platform. (I.e. more post secondary and more health care spending)
No real stimulus spending on infrastructure besides what has already be committed (which I think is a big miss).
The increased personal tax rate is changed to include the 100k - 125k range and the other ranges go up a bit.
A couple of raises to Beer and Cigarette taxes.
This new Small Business Hiring Tax Credit.

If they do anything with the personal tax rate other than what they campaigned on, they have to be complete morons. The 100-125K range hits an awful lot of Albertans compared to other Provinces. That will not go over well at all.
