Debt payback is good, but if they're not going to do things like re-index AISH, come up with a comprehensive, well-funded solution for homelessness and ensure our paramedic services have the resources to stop being a 24/7 ongoing disaster, I can't fully say this is a good idea.
It's good on one hand, but there are other fires that need to be put out with that money. We are, after all, people who need services and funding.
No doubt part of this announcement is also politically-motivated for an upcoming election, to channel Ralph Klein luck.
