I might be the odd one out here, but being a politician is a hard job. The schedule sucks, everyone likes to yell at you, and the commute can be horrendous. It's hard.
NOT UNLIKE BEING A NURSE.
Compensate everyone fairly. Look elsewhere to economize the budget #abpoli #ableg

The Sturgeon Refinery, Keystone XL, orphan wells, oil by rail -- these are all places where the liability to Alberta's public finances are STAGGERING.
The problem here = stupid, foolish gambles on an industry that is transitioning out of dominance, not public sector wages

On the Sturgeon Refinery. Auditor General report from 2018: oag.ab.ca/reports/apmc-s…
So it's not like we didn't know it was a bad bet this week.

On orphan wells. An Auditor General reporting coming soon. Note the liability is $30+ billion.

From the GoA itself, Keystone XL is $1.3 billion + another $6 billion in loan guarantees, given under a process that we all knew could be revoked by the POTUS as easily as it was given.
We're not getting that $1.3 billion back.

In contrast, nurses earn $45.40/hour. Rolling that back by 3%, retroactive to April 2020? That's not going to make a dent in any of this oil & gas-related fiscal mismanagement.
