And still, Slava said he thought the UCP ought to be forgiven... 
But you're right, I think an overarching point is that non-renewable resource revenue dropped like a rock during the NDP's tenure, and roared back up a couple years ago because oil prices jumped as economic activity resumed as the world moved out of the Covid pandemic, and because Russia invaded Ukraine. The UCP government have spent far, far more than the NDP ever did. When Conservative governments are gifted revenues through no action on their part, laissez-faire becomes laissez les bons temps rouler! |
A) It is a cardinal sin.
B) I never once said the UCP should be forgiven.
C) Can’t you control yourself to not comment about me? I’m most interested in engaging with you in any context.
