So the UCP stole teachers pensions, set up AIMCo to give jobs to retired politicians, and promptly started losing billions of pension dollars.

We caught the UCP red-handed.
We asked Public Safety & Emergency Services for any correspondence between Min. Ellis & the Edmonton Police Commission.
They told us - twice - there was none.
We asked the Commission & got 130 pages including 5 letters signed by Ellis. #abpoli

If Alberta invested $2.5 billion into placing solar panels on all 2200 (+/-) schools in Alberta it would reduce education operating costs by $400 million per year.
For every $1b invested, $160m/yr saved.
A pipeline to tide water generates $145m/yr per $1b invested.
