    Got to love how Harper responsibly curtailing the deficits slowly to avoid major economic shocks and continuing the promised economic stimulus spending the Liberals forced him into is something that later Liberals will hang over his head

    See this is why, imo, the Cons shouldn't be cucks to left wing interests at all when they are in power and just ram the policy their actual voters want down the Liberals throats. Because that's exactly what any left government does immediately after they take over. This was the PC's undoing imho, trying to keep their feet in both ponds.

    Personally i think a united conservative party in Alberta who comes with the policy of eliminating all the Prentice-Notley tax increases and a mandate to make radical cuts to public spending ( like AHS waste) to bring us back to the black would win an election in a landslide.

    That's what damn near everyone i know wants so I think it could be very successful

    The one thing they did get right was funding the rebuild at Gaetz/QEII in Red Deer. This is going to be so awesome when it's built!!!!

    ^ I agree that is going to be great. But did the NDP really fully plan and have that ready to start construction within their first 6 months in power? I assume this was in the works for some time before they were around.

    Hahaha, boy do I have a story for you.

    We were supposed to be driving on this around 2012, you can see the 'opening day' date listed as 2012 in the linked document. They already had a design and were seeking public consultation in 2010. So yah this project has been around for a long time. Just sitting there, awaiting funding.

    Like most major projects around Red Deer, it got axed from the three year plan after(?) the provincial election of 2012. Some of those very same projects that were axed in 2012, had previously been axed in the mid-2000's. This is according to my contact in AB Transportation central office.

    There is literally a list of projects that have finalized designs done just awaiting funding. And that's just in this area.

    The NDP were just the ones that gave it the final approval, which was the funding.

    That is funny and I am not surprised. And don't get me wrong, all governments are messed up, some just more than others. I guess this is one bonus of our big deficit. lol

    I cringe thinking about how traffic will be with the construction for the next 3 years...

    Now if my fuel tax went to this and making all of QEII 6 lanes rather than rebates to people under $51K I would be much happier.

    Yah. Traffic during construction is going to be interesting...

    It's not any one particular government flavouring at fault. Rather, it's the WHOLE system.

    FFS. Even my nemesis Codetrap knows this.

    I want a nemesis, but it would just end up as MSM.
