The point I think missing in this debate is recovering income assuming oil exports are stopped. All parties have plans and dreams for their Province ....the thing that holds them back is finances. The public are never given a briefing on current income ( with source ) and itemized expenses. So if we stop the income from oil where do we make it up from, higher taxes ( for those that actually work and pay taxes) or a money tree. How much do we wish to spend on health and education, and how will it be financed. It's fine and dandy for folks to take up theoretical dreams of Utopia but are royalties not included in the cash flow. So many are willing to beat up others with their ideology but never tackles the costing of their dreams. Makes the debates pointless and one sided.
