Klein to Give Albertans $400 Each From Surplus

Stardate 4587.8

CTV - Ralph says each Albertan will receive $400 from the massive unbudgeted energy surplus. I think this is great personally, because it is always a battle to keep gas in the cars now, and our heating bill is going to be outrageous this year. Another $2.6 Billion will go to Infrastructure projects and other things.

Ralph - The pie was this big... and I was terrified

Now as much as I would like this money, I am really thinking that we could have used it for buying medical equipment or putting it into education. I read that the Calgary Chamber of Commerce wanted Coporate tax cuts, but I disagree with that. All that is doing is giving the rich more of a break. After all, we are Albertans, not Texans, so the money could be better spent elsewhere.

As it stands though, I will wait with pleased anticipation for my cheque.
