Just to be clear, I doubt anything the next party can do will be anything but trimmings around the side of the problem. There is really nothing much more that the next party can do to dramatically bring down unemployment rates, improve the industry to pre-recession standards and get this province in the black. I do think there is a delusion among many Albertans that this will happen like a light switch.
I hope the people who vote for the next governing party realize that if they want the digging to stop, there is going to have to be serious cuts made that will impact their lives. Health, education, public services, environment - all of it. The gravy train stops and we're really going to have to look in the mirror.
