You asked for an explanation that a liberal would understand, so there you go.

I actually asked for the difference in platform not in supporters, so as far as understanding goes you might be a liberal.

Have we gone so far off track in this country that we don't even pick on Newfoundland anymore?

Awful. Just awful, employing a nation and all. There are 3000 people ON SHIFT at Syncrude's Ft. Mackay facility. There's what, 4 shifts? And that's only one mine/plant. Take your negativity and shove it.

I'm talking about ethical oil. not the oil sands. ethical oil is the single most retarded thing ever and that promo picture proves it.

While someone already pointed it out, I prefer this site as it allows you to pin-point almost exactly where Albertans actually pay less (over 125,000ish) up until then BC is a lower income tax prov.

So, can someone explain to this lib what the difference is between Wildrose and PC? I am guessing the one with a name that sounds like a country band is probably pandering to the rural crowd, but is there any real difference in platform?

Wildrose platform:

New taxes are illegal.
Halt all infrastructure construction.
MLAs can vote however they want (not sure how this is different from our current MLAs can vote however they want system)
Deficits are illegal. But they'll post one to 2014.
If any surplus occurs, it will be redistributed to the people 300 dollars at a time.
Cut payments to municipalities, let them increase property tax if need be. (See first point)

PC's platform:
Tax breaks for families based on children.
Tax breaks on physical fitness for kids and seniors.
Increase savings.
Continue building new schools.
Continue building new hospitals.
Foster business growth via tax incentives and current royalty scheme. Collect income tax from business growth.

One wants to govern, the other wants a nice two tiered healthcare system and to end government interference in infrastructure spending. YAY!

When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity.

When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.

Myth … try again. BC has lower income tax than Alberta if you make between $29k and $110k a year. What BC has is sales tax, Alberta has none.
