If the PC's were to clean up the back room and shift back to the right they would eat the WR's lunch and be well over 50% support again.

Prentice gave us a budget that was workable, addressed both the revenue and spending side. But noone likes seeing their taxes raised.
He also gave us the "look in the mirror" talk. Which is 1000% true, and people HATED it.
Notley campaigned on taxing those evil corporations and making them pay their fair share. We saw how that worked out.
