Assuming you are talking about the 400K for the advocacy groups? Are there no advocacy groups left in Alberta? How much of that money was being spend on the Executive directors and other staff of these groups compared to the ones that still get funding?

Agreed about the Manning thing.

NDP, notorious for cutting services
Here is the thing, services are funded by tax dollars, the majority of tax is paid by the top 10 percent, i forget what the number is 60/70 percent of tax revenue are paid by the top 10 percent.

Although the NDP ropes you in with the "no service cuts!" over the long term the NDP will shift more of the tax burden on the very people who already subsized most of these services you want for your family. Guess what these people just leave, they already leave in droves to the US, you know the old "NHL players don't want to play in Canada because of taxes and such", so guess what happens, the money needs to come from somewhere and since the NDP aren't gonna touch your services, you get to pay more ! Yay! So pick your poison!

This isn't a hypothetical, the evidence is overwhelming, look at wealth taxes in Europe.
