Phew.. Alberta just dodged a bullet. Thanks goodness for the NDP.
Reckless PC spending cuts will make oil downturn worse for Albertans
Edmonton – The nine per cent budget cuts proposed by finance minister Robin Campbell and Premier Jim Prentice will plunge Alberta into a downward economic spiral, harm Albertans who rely on public services, and further threaten to push Alberta toward recession.
On Wednesday, February 11, the finance minister joined Premier Jim Prentice in a press conference updating Albertans on their plan to tackle government deficits caused by low oil prices and an irresponsible tax system. In the conference, the premier cited the languishing price of oil as a pretext for austerity measures and spending cuts.
“Jim Prentice has an opportunity here to show some leadership and political courage. Today’s press conference is an indication that he isn’t going to take that opportunity. This is terrible news for all Albertans,” Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan said. “The premier knows that we’re facing a possible recessionary period – and every credible economist will tell you that slashing spending at this time will only deepen that recession.”
Despite the Premier saying he has heard that Albertans want a measured and reasoned response to the current fiscal reality, the PC government announced up to a nine per cent cut in government spending across the board. This will mean billions of dollars less each year for the front-line services on which Albertans rely, without addressing the underlying problem that the province’s budgets are too dependent on fluctuating resource revenues.
“When you cut spending this drastically, you put people out of work. When you put more people out of work, they stop spending. And when that many people stop spending, the economy grinds to a halt,” McGowan said. “Unless Premier Prentice can step up and provide leadership on royalties and taxes, Alberta could be heading for some very dark times.”

He can only regurgitate what he reads. he doesn't actually get it.
Critical thought is such an important thing.... But memes are nice too, at least for those that can't put the thoughts together in the first place
I hide behind cut & paste spam? While ignoring the big picture? While regurgitating stuff I can't actually explain when asked about?I see you two have a real problem contributing anything of substance to this thread, and these last 2 posts seem to describe yourselves so well of late.

Again, put the bottle down.Here, I'll help ya out as it seems you're a little slow lately.

I've made my position painfully clear.
But on that note, I see that you contribute less than nothing to the actual OP.
Thanks for coming out
Works for me.Yes, you would have preferred to keep the elitists in power so their friends could continue on with the good life.
You know, the poor poor friends that Mciver lamented about. The ones making 125k plus per year who were "only making ends meet".
You would have preferred Prentices take on taxes. No increase of corporate taxes, but increased taxes and fees for the average Joe.
Yes, we know where you stand, over all. The same place as the entitled PC's. Fu ck the little guy, give the corps the break cause they line the PC pockets.

Pretty good crop of them around.And who but an idiot would argue with that?
She wore her hat backwards last week by mistake.
Posting economic advice and criticism from the Alberta Federation of Labour president is likee posting advice on morals and ethics regarding children from the president of NAMBLA.
OMFG... really? String the bitch up!
or the same as expecting a former grunt to know how to spell, or asking them for advice on how to maintain world peace.
