Not to hijack this thread too much, but I don't really think anyone that cuts healthcare, blows up hospitals, cuts education and ignores needed infrastructure during a time when the province is experiencing significant growth leaving us in the woefully unprepared position we're in because he slashed on the assumption that oil would never rise above $12/bbl again is anything but a short-sighted idiot who judging by his level of education during the early to mid 1990s hadn't the slightest idea what a Hubbard curve was. Government is supposed to work counter business, not just like one... they're supposed to spend when things are bad (to generate work and complete needed projects cheaply), and generate wealth and not have to hyperinflate the market when things are good.
