I'd argue that the PCs squandered wealth by caving in to a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy. Contrary to what many would say, there is no revenue problem in Alberta. The problem is that Albertans are simply not getting enough value for operational government expenditures, which are among the highest per capita in the country.
It's absolutely the fault of the Progressive Conservatives and the date at which things turned for the worse is September 1, 2005: when Ralphbucks were announced.
