From the article:

"No wonder a Chamber of Commerce survey found that one in 20 firms in Ontario expect to shut its doors in the next five years due to the high cost of electricity."

A pretty chilling statement that will no doubt hit hard if it is realized

Those 'facts' based on what you or Coyne thinks a Conservative is is?

Don't be so silly. Government expenditures in Alberta have been the highest per capita of any province in memory. I was reading a graph the other day (I believe it was 2010-11 numbers). Despite having 46% of Kweebecks population we have 56% of their expenditures. Manitoba is 300% and 382% respectively. Even straight program spending per capita, Alberta leads he way. Every two bit town in Alberta had a hospital built during the Lougheed era until Klein ended that nonsense.

Is there a particular statement you disagree with (from me or Coyne) or are you just bitter.

I guess if tax and spend policies and bloated governments are "conservative" ideals then I stand corrected.

lol That's a particularly stupid comment. Especially after implying that everyone else is silly and they make stupid comments.

If you're going to troll, you might as well be smart about it.

I get it... The definition of a non-Conservative gvt is one that has spent any money.

It's all so clear now!

That's basically what you wrote... Nothing about the nature of the expenditures, just that they spent more per capita than Que.

Thanks fer coming out... I'll see if Vanna has a nice consolation prize for ya'll
