Ed is singing the praises of a sock.
Premier Ed Stelmach said Alberta can weather the economic downtown by dipping into cash it wisely socked away for a rainy day.
"I refer to it as putting money in a sock, just like mom and dad did for some events that were catastrophic or when somebody got sick in the family - you had a little reserve," the premier told a news conference yesterday.
The province has $7.7 billion squirrelled away in a sustainability fund.
"We want to keep Albertans working ... keep the momentum going," said Stelmach
http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Alberta ... 1-sun.html I think everyone in the Edmonton area should go back to paying for their healthcare. I'll volunteer to stop our infrastructure projects this year. Last year 4 of our 5 highways out of town had construction all summer, we need a break.
Hell I’ll even throw in our water main replacement program, even though this would be the last year to have all the old mains replaced, we can wait a bit.
Some times it sucks having your MLA being the Minister of Infrastructure.
