First of all the billion dollar infrastructure thing for Alberta is nothing new, since most of it was allocated by the previous government, so Trudeau's and the Liberal's aren't really doing anything new for the government except giving a relatively minor amount in the grand scheme of things to the province in a time of economic collapse. Basically they decided to sign a check that has been sitting around waiting for signature.
And when you look at that compared to the what 90 billion in deficits that he's expected to run over the next 4 years its nothing.
And when you consider that they're going to give the same amount to one company in Quebec who's sole profit bearing product is begging for bail outs. Color me unimpressed.
And didn't the Finance Minister get called on the carpet for lying about the Conservatives leaving a deficit when they left office and it turns out that there was a expected $1.4 billion dollar surplus? I think the Auditor General Report stated that.
