A much needed book. It is short, but to the point and it succinctly illustrates what a disaster the province of Alberta has on its hands. The profiles on party officials contained in this book only serve to illustrate just why the province of Alberta now has the worst provincial government in the history of Canadian provincial politics.
A government who has completely bungled their first year in office deserves this kind of critical review.
To name just a few of their bungles:
1) Scare provincial investors away from their energy industry - the single biggest employer - by conducting a drawn out royalty, which lead to absolutely no changes
2) Dramatic increases to both business taxes and mandated labour rates in the worst recession in decades
3) The largest annual deficit in Alberta's history, which they were too embarrassed to speak the deficit amount aloud in legislature
4) A mandated cap on the growth of Alberta's largest employer and source of outside investment
5) Strong arming family farms into being unionized so the party can reward its union cronies
5) Banning of the press from government/public announcements
6) Participating in other provinces and federal elections for their party's benefit, while delaying critical Alberta government requirements - i.e. annual budget
7) Being investigated for fund raising irregularities
8) By-election stunts to throw off the other parties - snap elections, weekend elections in summer
And this only scratches the surface. The horrible truth is that this is not fiction, but cold, bitter reality and the once mighty economic engine of Canada - Alberta - has a destructive force at the controls until 2019. Incompetent, misguided, misinformed, corrupt, morally bankrupt, and illogical - this is Alberta's NDP government.
The only saving grace is the truism, that the only cure for socialism is more socialism. After this government is done with Alberta, you can bet the NDP will be dead come election time for decades and un-electable just like the legacy left by Bob Rae's Ontario government.
The NDP is what you get when you let low-info, uniformed people vote.
