The NDP government could end their first term leaving the province in a 30 to 40 billion dollar hole.

It's pretty sad. What's just as bad is all the partisan NDPers making excuses for Notley and the party. There are things she cannot control but there is more she does control to help with the situation.
I agree with Locke that the biggest spending issue is public sector pensions. They need to be fixed and crawled back to an extent. We are paying out the ### for a lot of people who don't provide value anymore and seem to be living longer lives.
