A Reminder
. . . of what happens when a party is in power too long. In this case, the party in question is the Alberta Tories, and Calgary Grit does a run-down of the financial irregularities that the government there is beginning to amass. The major one being the fact that the oil and gas sector has been getting away without paying its fair share of royalties to the Province, but the others are notable for the culture of entitlement and greed that always seem to accompany a governing party that has no effective opposition.
When you can take your support for granted, you stop governing for the people and start governing for the party. All a good sign that the system requires a serious shake-up.
