Could you explain this more? Calgary was ranked as one of the top five cities to live in in the entire world by the Economist, so your explanation here is appreciated.

Couple questions here...
  • What is your opinion about the UCP 'wasting' $1.4B of our money on a pipeline that went absolutely nowhere (Keystone), or the RStar program that grants $20B in tax relief for already-rich resource firms? That $20B could be critical to provincial revenues and projects if the government just grew a ####ing backbone and made them clean those wells up.
  • What is your opinion on the UCP completely budgeting their success on oil revenues, and what is your opinion about the NDP's plan to diversify away from oil and gas, using revenues from O+G to invest in that diversification?
