Also, it it that difficult to defend the NDP without bringing up the Wildrose or PC's? The NDP have a majority government. This is their baby and what the other parties "might" have done is completely irrelevant to anything happening in real life.

My life is better because of the NDP. My tuition didn't skyrocket, I don't have to worry about class sizes for my kids, I don't have to worry that the environment is being ignored and I don't have to worry about more of my friends losing their jobs.
As for attacking, I was responding to the point that I was naïve to think any government would be having trouble in this economic situation.
My point wasn't to deflect, but to point out that if the PCs or Wildrose had any better ideas then they should be sharing them. If the Alberta Party can come up with a shadow budget to show how they would be better then shouldn't we expect the same from the official opposition, as that is their main role, to provide alternatives, not simply disagree for the fun of it.
