Lets face it. You can say what you want about NDP fiscal policies (I'm not a fan either), but at the end of the day over 90% of that $71B of debt comes down to the fact that there is a lot of infrastructure and services that need higher oil prices to stay running/maintained.
Sure they can gut healthcare or education. They could stop building interchanges and freeways. But that would just bring even MORE complaining than dealing with the fallout of a red budget.
