"The latest fiscal update, delivered Tuesday by Finance Minister Joe Ceci, cites the wildfires as the main factor pushing the deficit $527 million higher, to $10.9 billion."
Sorry haha i was just watching bnn at work and happened to see Ceci talking about it lol
From the Financial Post article:
Well ain't that fucking peachy? The "make less, spend more" plan continues.Quote:
Most of the new jobs in Alberta in the last 12 months have been in health care, social assistance and education.
We'll be $50 billion in the hole once these guys are done.
Yay for debt!
To quote the NDP, it's the right thing to do.Quote:

I certainly didn't vote NDP, but even I didn't think they'd be this incompetent. :dunno: Governments borrowing to cover operating expenses should be a crime.
Honestly, we don't need the WildRose anymore, we need Ralph Klein to get out of his grave and start running things again.
And I'm a gov employee :nut:
They have to. They spent the rest of the money on the Health Minister's Twinkie habit and ads trying to convince people that driving investment from the province is a good thing.Quote:

Not surprised at all. About par for the course really. Not even the never-talked-about carbon tax surprised me. Shows the typical total lack of NDP financial knowledge.Quote:

Apparently other people thought otherwise.

Yup, year 2 is going to be a clusterfuck. I'm assuming they're already starting to fudge the financial statements, so the deficit is probably worse than what they said.
...
Ceci made sure to mention the Ft Mac wildfires as a major contributor to the deficit, maybe its my ears, but I didn't hear him mention the 47,000 employees added to the public payroll. :dunno:
All of this is right out of the NDP playbook.
I lived in BC as Phreak did, none of this is surprising, it will only get worse.
With this level of provincial debt, we all are.Quote:

It's time to consider leaving the province as the best before date has passed.
Where are all the Orange Crush supporters? They have been virtually silent throughout the last 15 months.
