Tax Talk 39: Alberta is Back in Debt

It's hard to believe, but premiers Ed Stelmach and Allison Redford have taken Alberta into the red – frittering away billions in a rainy-day fund and completely losing the Alberta Advantage. CTF Alberta Director Derek Fildebrandt joins B.C. Director and Tax Talk host Jordan Bateman to talk about how Alberta could have slid back into $8 billion worth of debt (and growing by $11 million a day), less than a decade after Ralph Klein famously held up his "Paid in Full" sign.
