In response to the National Post Editorial. Sorry cannot find a link to it.
Note the print version has significantly altered what I said in the last sentence - big :(

In the editorial "The Wildrose Effect" you credit the cuts in royalties in Alberta as "at least a beginning to lead the province in the right direction". In fact as the same article points out the problem is the province is spending more per capita than any other. The last budget shows spending still rising strongly, and as conservatives everywhere from Ottawa to Washington have proven conclusively when they cut taxes while raising spending you create deficits. In fact their actions are just a reaction and a denial of the real problem. Taking the easy but less responsible road of passing the bill on to the next generations. I trust Danielle with her libertarian ideas will do better and begin to fix the problem, spending, when she takes power as conservatives clearly do not understand there is a problem.
