I don't disagree with any of that. There needs to be a change in policy. The NDP has had one budget. They'll most likely issue a budget update this fall. I'm being a contrarian to the hurricane of hysteria in this thread about the NDP. I get it, times are bad, people are hurting, that's not something to be preening over.
But one of the growing pains of voting out a government that's been in power for generations is that the new government will need to find its feet. If they can't put forward a progressive, effective new vision for policy in this province then they'll deserve the boot, there is no doubt. But don't think that a return to the voodoo economics of WRP or the next flavour of right-wing governments and its whole bankruptcy in new policy ideas to fix the Alberta economy will bring any more success to the table.
