Lol, right? The UCP have the dubious title of highest spending Alberta Government
ever and we have countless cases where they've wasted millions or even billions, but somehow the NDP are the fiscally irresponsible boogeyman that are going to spend us into oblivion.
Newsflash folks - the UCP are already doing exactly what you're afraid of the NDP doing. The provinces finance's and program spending have
never been more reliant on the price of oil than this Smith budget.
According to Trevor Tombe we now need Oil to be at $75US per barrel to balance the budget. Each $1 change is worth $630M, have you looked at the price of oil today? Cause it's not $75 US.
