A couple of major funding announcements from the province have Albertans’ wondering if the Stelmach government has a plan or not.
Only months after shelving massive spending programs for health care facilities and green transportation, the Tories are talking about making that money available again.
A local political scientist says the funding about face is more proof the government is not only worried about the emerging Wildrose Alliance Party, but thinks throwing money around will make things right again.
University of Calgary Political Scientist Doreen Barrie tells 660News even though voters are not paying close attention, everyone knows the Stelmach government is in trouble and they don’t like political or spending flip flops.
She says the Wildrose Alliance party has the Tories running scared and it appears the government believes it can hang on to power simply by cutting cheques.
