Spending cuts follow Alberta premier's no-tax pledge
Oh my… to all of you who voted Tory at the last election, when are you going to get your head out of the sand and see that this government does not have a clue when it comes to the finances of this province.
One day they are spouting how we will not increase taxes, another day they cut the liquor tax, costing millions in revenue, the next day they are giving money way to the gas companies, then they tell us there will be cuts. Then in the same week MRI units are told to do less MRIs, hello!!!!!
Please explain to me how this kind of confusing talk is good for us as citizens and investors alike.
Klein of course says he would cut government spending across the board like he did in the nineties, something that still hurts today. Funny how the government can make a mess that everyone is part of then use government workers, who had no choice, to fix the mess. I think if the government tries that again you will see people leaving this province in droves never to return and I am talking teachers, doctors and other professionals.
To be honest despite no having much of a opposition, I would rather give them a chance, heck they could not do any worse. We go from a province with billions coming in to what we are quickly becoming, as great big mess.
Did you know every year residents of Alaska get a rebate from the oil revenues, and in Norway all higher education is free, even for international students. How do they both do that? Well they treat the resources' of the country, oil, properly and make the oil companies pay for it. This attitude of the Tory government letting oil companies push them around has to stop. Tell the oil companies these are the royalties, take it or leave it, they will not go far for long, the may short term make try and make a point, but they will be back, and the oil and has is not going anywhere.
Well that’s my rant for the day. Just remember when it comes time to vote again, think about it.
