Why not provide some actual numbers then?
The narrative that there was some huge infrastructure deficit is completely made up to support increased public spending.
However, the reality is that after Klein put Alberta in the black, the largest parts of all increased spending has gone towards public sector salaries, both provincially and locally. More days off, more pay, and better pensions than the private sector. CUPE seems to be spending more time advertising than ever before?
