You can read the questions and responses for yourself and decide if the grades are fair. They seem pretty fair to me. You can also read the survey according to your own fiscal policy priorities. Personally, I think it is most important that any new leader of any province start the process of controlling government spending and curbing the size of government. Both overall and specifically in the area of spending, Ted Morton leads the way. I'm pleased to see some meat on the policy bones of that leadership. Where Alberta leads, the country follows.
