Screw Prince Prentass and his god damn tax increase. I'm getting screwed on this budget and there is no way I would vote PC again.

How are we going to fund services without raising taxes?

Maybe stop wasing the money they do spend and giving themselves raises year after year? Stop building sky palaces. Tighten their own belts before they start whipping the voters with it.

I'm going to stop swimming against the current and just go with the flow for a while. Thankfully some people have realised that we don't need to increase spending becase we can save the exact amount of money we need to just by cutting waste and finding efficiencies. I feel better already.

Wasteful, but a drop in the bucket. We have real bills to pay.

This sentiment is exactly why Prentice was right when he said Albertans are to blame. Bunch of babies.

I'm just angry with the budget because it wasn't enough. Screw it, I'm voting Liberal. My father will disown me, but at least I can sleep at night.

I will not vote for Bruce McAllister. So no PC vote from me. Maybe Liberal this time around.

Yes, Alberta's economy has been faltering for decades under the current corporate tax policy.

We need to raise taxes to spur Alberta's growth. Watching high tax jurisdictions like Quebec and Ontario with their roaring economies makes Albertan's look stupid!

Your assertion that Alberta's economy is suffering because of low corporate tax rates ignores the stark reality that Alberta's economy has been leading the country for decades.

Sometimes it's like you are writing in a fantasy world.
