I never thought I say this...
But Jeffrey Simpson is right. His column in the Saturday 22 October Globe and Mail regarding Alberta politics is 100% on the mark.
It is time for Ralph Klein to retire and for someone with vision to take the helm. Alberta is in a PRIME situation to remake Canada by using the funds available to experiment with new methods of service delivery in health care, to make Alberta the #1 education jurisdiction in North America (if not the world).
Unfortunately, Ralph wants to stick around until 2007. And his government is wasting money on things like duplicate hospitals in adjacent towns because they are in different constituencies (can anyone remember Don Getty????) And handing out $400 cheques to residents (and positing this will continue in future years) is ridiculous. See my previous post regarding cutting taxes further to make the Alberta Advantage even greater.
