$7 Billion

Alberta's surplus could reach $7 Billion this year. That's more than Saskatchewan's total budget for the year. What to do with that money is a very nice problem to have. Very nice indeed. And really unheard of - try to think of another country or jurisdiction that is debt free, economically booming, and rolling in dough? They are blazing new trails, and it will take special leadership (read: not King Ralph) to navigate successfully through the challenges they face. But wait, there's more: the feds are sitting on $9.5B! Let's all agree that a) we are over taxed in the Great White North and b) that we need to reduce taxes starting today.
