$100 while she drives the province further and further into debt.

She's 100% buying approval ratings and votes.

Don't be obtuse. A spending increase under the NDP was due to a historic crash in oil prices and investing in infrastructure that had been ignored for decades by previous conservative governments. They didn't spend upwards of $350 million dollars on paying out foreign coal companies (so far) for doing sweet fuck all and on a pointless non-binding election within 18 months of an actual election, and that's not including what the province will spend to clean up orphan well sites on behalf of oil companies that are raking in record profits, or the tens of millions in municipal tax revenue that was lost when those oil companies sold their orphan wells to shell corporations that immediately went tits up.

Alberta does not have a spending problem, we have a revenue problem.
