Travis Toews, the only finance minister the United Conservatives have ever had, save for a handful of months when the first-term politician stepped aside to challenge for the leadership of the party, is remaining mum on whether he will run in Alberta’s spring election.
Mr. Toews said he spent the past 18 months thinking about how to build a durable fiscal framework that will provide “guardrails” when the province is flush with royalty revenue and flexibility during financial droughts. The fiscal framework would also limit spending increases to the previous year’s inflation plus population growth. “That will ensure we don’t create conditions for aberrant behaviour, [with] government departments wanting to spend all their money so they get a higher base next year.”
The budget contains new money to broaden Alberta’s addiction treatment programs and hire more sheriffs, among other efforts. It is devoid of any financial support for Alberta’s largest city, which hoped to garner a boost for its still-struggling downtown core.
He had nothing to do with it.
He did nothing
Did he cause the war in the Ukraine? Because he didn't, so far as I recall.
Like he had anything to do with it. Your headline is balls. As usual.
