But the UCP hasn't presented a credible plan for a balanced budget either. The deficit is so huge it will take substantial cuts in spending
and substantial tax increases to balance the provincial budget.
A party that looks at a province with the lowest tax regime in the country and a massive structural deficit and says tax increases are off the table is not being realistic. It's just playing the populist card, and hoping energy royalties will come gushing back into provincial coffers and push the tough decisions down the road another 10 years.
