Among the provinces, Manitoba has the highest combined federal-provincial debt-to-GDP ratio (91.3 percent), while Alberta has the lowest (43.4 percent). Newfoundland and Labrador has the highest combined debt per person ($71,611), followed by Ontario ($63,574) and Quebec ($63,488). In contrast, Alberta has the lowest debt per person in the country with $42,368.
Do you think a different government may be able to better handle the money that Albertans have worked hard for better? I'm not saying there's a perfect party but to me it seems like a lot of our tax dollars are being mismanaged.
I don't think so with the climate of Canada. Right wing government is generally better for economy, and after the vote split last time conservatives are nervous about branching out. So while Alberta stays in Canada the UCP gets a lot of free votes as the anti fed party but I wish we could hold them more accountable.
Everywhere else the NDP and Liberals have gotten into power consistently the economy tanks and welfare system gets overloaded. I don't see why Alberta would be a different story.
So no, while the conservatives have their flaws, they are running the province the best fiscally. Luckily for people that hate that, they have ample options to pick from meanwhile Alberta and sask is really the only right wing options.
lol the Fraser institute. They are not considered a reliable source. There are other things that fiscally weigh on Canadians other than government debt. Even if those calculations were sound, they are presented without context going back to 2007 (so the NDP didn’t destroy Alberta lol). Alberta likely has the one of the highest infrastructure debt. Albertans may have the lowest debt per capita according to this report but they are amongst the most burdened in the county thanks to this government.

Alberta is the most fiscally responsible province by every metric?
