Also keep in mind that $30B deficit is just for this year. Next year they're projecting a similar deficit, and then they say they're going to slowly decrease it over the next few years (I'll believe that when I see it). Basically $100B all funded with debt. Already so much debt at the consumer level, so much already at the govt level, now just piling on more....sure it could bump GDP by what 0.4% the next few years, but then we're stuck again. It's a vicious cycle.
Say what you will about the conservatives but they battled hard to balance the budget. All goes poof.
Lots of language also around the "low carbon economy". I'm seriously worried about the future of Alberta.
