    don't care, public service needed the cuts, you can't grow for ever particularly when the province only saw a net influx of ~13000 people in 2019. Unions always bitch and moan when they have to face anything but growth.

    I never said there wasn't any, but we need to understand why it is costing us more per person than any other Western province for things like Health care etc.

    Then maybe they should look at cutting expenses on a wider than the usual Conservative mentality "cut the people who actually do the work" basis.

    Maybe reign in MLA pay. Bring it down to 80k per year.

    Completely sickened by the mindset that makes someone cheer at someone else losing their job just because it satisfies their ignorant and hate-filled political agenda. Fucking disgusting, finding this kind of thing to be funny.

    It would be strange if his approval rating didn’t fall after making such decisions. That’s how political capital is used.

    I’ve now seen a few of these contractions in Alberta’s public spending from a distance, having only worked there when things were getting better. They are brutal. In NL we somehow manage to avoid looking so closely at the figures, and thus do cuts more gradually. I’m afraid one silver lining for other provinces is that good people are let go and start looking for jobs elsewhere.

    Oil and gas has brought Alberta a lot of benefits. There's no questioning that. Unfortunately, the really high salaries people could get working in the oilpatch forced other employers, including the public sector, to raise their own offered salaries to retain workers. Those salaries don't automatically go back down when we go from boom to bust, so that's one of the problems.

    Pay cuts are one thing, but as DrCaleb and Thanos have alluded to the real problem is those malicious assholes who actually relish seeing public servants lose their jobs. That's different from somebody like Preston Manning arguing in his book The New Canada that the country was in serious financial trouble and that the private sector would benefit from the public servants' talents.
