To vote for a merged party I'd have to get some serious answers to questions like: Why would we want to turn over the provincial government to the same right wing, crony conservatism that caused the current fiscal deficit? How do they intend to balance the budget in two years without raising taxes? How safe is the Heritage Savings Trust Fund? Will the minimum wage of $15/hr be rolled back? If the 12% business tax is reduced, how will the revenue shortfall be made up? For many Albertans there's little urgency to replace the Notley NDP.
