we have the oil, so we win
A new Alberta budget. With a surplus of a bazillion dollars.
John Carpay, a spokesman for The Canadian Taxpayers Federation, was also disappointed that the budget lacked tax breaks for average Albertans.
"These provincial Tories are spending on a scale that would make the federal Liberals blush," he said. "In fact, the federal Liberals are proposing more tax relief than the provincial Tories are."
There just isn't a government that will voluntarily give up the easy money of citizen tax dollars, is there. And Ralph doesn't need to; voters are a happy bunch in Alberta. We Albertans have different standards for our provincial government than we do for our federal government apparently.
