GUNTER -- COMMENTSENSE #3 - WHY SHOULD EDMONTON & ALBERTA TAXPAYERS PAY FOR CALGARY'S GREEN LINE LRT PROJECT

Calgary's Green Line LRT extension has been a super-expensive white elephant right from the beginning. Rather than counting the losses and running Danielle Smith and the so called "conservative" party are threatening to jump in and rescue the project. As he so often does Lorne Gunter brings shares a perspective that does not bode well for the UCP and/or Alberta taxpayers.

It seems that Premier Smith and the current UcP government are willing to forsake large C conservative principles in order to stay in power and by doing so they validate Lord Acton's oft quoted statement that "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
