So in the 90s-00s, Premier Ralph Klein eliminated Alberta's debt.

On paper, anyway.

In reality, what he did was push the debt forward to future Albertans, by creating massive infrastructure and public service deficiencies & debts thanks to his deep budget cuts.

What @ABDanielleSmith hinted at in today's televised speech is the same, but different.

She's also creating a huge infrastructure and public service debt, by underfunding critical projects & services.

The biggest difference is that she says she'll contribute to the...

Heritage Trust Fund, so that by *2050*, we won't be so dependent on royalty revenues.

Sounds good, right?

Well, it just means that *current* AB residents keep suffering, while billions of tax dollars PAID BY US, don't come back to us in the form of properly-funded services.

As some of our AB energy experts have pointed out previously, the reason our electricity rates are so high is Alberta is actually very simple: the UCP.

ICYMI, here's @TheRealDKGray back in May, with an explanation of how the UCP removed a key measure that protected us from corporate gouging:

In February, @bcshaffer pointed out that under the UCP's relief plan, people were free to stay on the RRO when it had a fake "cap," but were also free to bail as soon as the deferred costs had to be paid back, leaving those remaining to pay the bill:

One thing that I was hoping @RachelNotley would have time to address in the debate was the impact that oil prices had on the budgets and deficits put up by the NDP and the UCP. The NDP had to work with a shoestring budget. The UCP just got lucky.

Under the UCP, we're still massively dependent on O&G royalty & tax revenue rollercoaster, as shown last year by @trevortombe.
Side note: look at the deficit in the UCP's first year, *pre-pandemic*, despite slashing public services. It was LARGER than all the NDP deficits 🀯!

So even though Premier Smith and the UCP keep telling us that we'll have a surplus this year due to their fiscal acumen, the reality is that it's mostly due to the fact that GLOBAL oil prices shot way up, largely due to the Ukraine-Russia war. Again, receipts by Dr. Tombe.

So for my many friends posting "Thank oil and gas for being able to survive these temperatures:" I don't disagree with you, BUT -- it's no longer the only way. We are nice and cozy here at -40 with NO gas line to the house. This is thanks to a few things: 1/n

1) great insulation: offset double stud walls for a total of 10" of thickness, insulated with dense-packed cellulose
2) an airtight building envelope rated at 0.6 air changes/hour
3) a @DettsonHVAC air-source heat pump coupled to backup electric furnace for very cold days 2/n
4) Venmar heat-recovery ventilator, which brings fresh air in, while recovering most of the heat from exhaust air
5) air-source heat pump hot water tank, that extracts heat from basement air and transfers it to the water
6) solar PV (optional)
7) triple-paned windows
