Never said anything about the economy, just said that a conservative government won't raise taxes because they can, that goes against everything they stand for. And Conservative Albertans will never accept a PST (though I think we should have one right now), that's a major factor in the supposed "Alberta Advantage"

LOL! An extra $400 is still going to leave us way behind what other provinces are getting per capita.

Fair enough, nice to see that some change is happening though and we aren't shouldering the whole load. If we end up as net payers instead of payees, then it just goes to show that we still earn more per capita than the rest of the country and we shouldn't need extra revenue to level the playing field.
