Alberta Liberals rank highest on all of Albertans' priorities
Edmonton - The Alberta Liberals received the highest rankings on their
policies this election campaign, including major issues such as health care,
education and environment.
"This campaign, the Alberta Liberals put a plan in front of Albertans that
is consistent with what we've been saying for years, it's responsible and
it's all about Albertans' priorities," said Taft.
"Our opponents know what the people and the experts have been saying," said
Taft. "The Alberta Liberals are the strongest on the environment, we're the
strongest on health care, we're the strongest on education, we're the
strongest on jobs and the economy, we're the strongest on saving for the
future. Not the Greens, not the NDP, and certainly not the Conservatives."
On health care, the Alberta Liberals were ranked the highest by the Alberta
Medical Association. On environment, they received the best review from the
Conservation Voters of Alberta, and the top ranking from the University of
Calgary Students' Union on their plan for post-secondary education.
The party's plans for Aboriginal Affairs, municipal autonomy, placing a
three-year moratorium on school closures, ending homelessness, and
strengthening the arts and culture sector also received positive reviews
from both people on the doorsteps and experts.
Edmonton Journal columnist Todd Babiak described the Alberta Liberal arts
and culture platform as, "by a long shot, the only one that respects the
true meaning of the word 'plan'."
"What I've heard across the province during this campaign is that it's time
for a new government," said Taft. "Albertans know that our province has
changed, while the Tory government has fallen asleep on the issues and
priorities that matter to this province."
Taft said the Alberta Liberals are the only party that is taking fiscal
responsibility seriously and is committed to a comprehensive, sustainable
and fiscally responsible savings plan by channeling 30 per cent of resource
revenue directly into four endowment funds. The Alberta Liberal policy on
savings is consistent with recommendations from the Alberta Chambers of
Commerce, the Alberta Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Canada West
Foundation and the C.D. Howe Institute.
Taft notes that the Alberta Liberals were the only party to release a
comprehensive platform prior to the election and to properly cost out all
platform commitments.
"The Alberta Liberals are the only party poised to form a new government
that acts on Albertans' needs and priorities," said Taft.
"Nothing changes unless we change government. Albertans have a chance to
change the future. It's time for a new government."
