Ted Morton竞选平台的主要一条是要把Alberta 的公共医疗系统私有化。这并不是什么新思想。公共医疗私有化的想法是十年以前由Ralph Klein 政府首次提出来的。

九十年代中期，油价暴跌， 到过13 美金一桶。Alberta 财政是债务累累，赤字重重。省长Ralph Klein为消减政府开支，大量裁减政府部门，关闭医院，合并大学院系，解雇政府雇员。因为公共医疗是省政府的一大笔开支，Ralph Klein 提出公共医疗私有化的想法。但医疗系统私有化对人们影响极大，始终没有实施。

3 e, Q5 F8 r" F1 C$ U; j1 I十年后的今天，情况大不相同，油价是60美金一桶，Alberta 政府既无内债，也无赤字。因为油砂的开采，Alberta 有北美最热的经济，省政府有上亿加币的财政结余，让整个北美都嫉妒。支持公共医疗系统根本不再是问题。现在面临的是过热的经济带来的新问题：缺少人手，缺少居住房屋，因为开采油砂用了大量的水造成的水源不足，等等。

5 x/ m% u& N. K3 _! x9 YTed Morton 无视当前的大好经济形势带来的新的挑战，却埋头于翻旧账，热衷于过了时的议题。这是和他的背景分不开的。Ted Morton出生于美国加州，在Calgary 大学作了20年的政治学教授，没有任何在政府部门和工业界工作过的经历。大学教授的讲义从来都是教科书上抄下来的过了时的内容。

, Y* {/ Z, _  P6 n" U" o$ [. qabout the difference between those of us who want to take on tomorrow’s challenges and those who want to fight yesterday’s battles.

Jim Dinning 说，他要迎战明天的挑战，而不是继续打昨天的旧仗。Ralph Klein 的时代已经过去了。Jim Dinning说, 他支持RCMP, 支持公共医疗系统，强调环境资源。

Jim Dinning说, “我要领导一个进步保守党的团队，它能保持住 Alberta 经济的高速增长，它能预见未来，想在前面，能管理好膨胀的经济对人们的影响，对家庭和社区的影响， 对环境的影响，对价值观，和对生活质量的影响。”

Jim Dinning 是Alberta生，Alberta长的阿尔伯塔人。他长期服务于政府部门和工业界，有丰富的管理经验。Jim Dinning 曾任省财务部长，仅用三年的时间就消除了财政赤字。

如果我有选举权，我要投给Ed Stelmach，他更重视quality of life, public health care and education and public service.

Jim was a executive of a big comany, he has strong connections with businessmen in Calgary. If he is elected, he will look after those big oil companies, but not ordinary people.

9 n5 w& M. A4 r& [If less loyalty fee can give big oil corporates the incentive to invest more in Alberta oil sand project, to keep Alberta’s booming economy going, to create more jobs, then I don’t have any problem with that.

) ~) L8 |8 _. xRecall that during Alberta’s first oil boom in late 70’s, Federal government envied Alberta’s rich oil money, increased tax on oil industry. Followed by the oil price drop, many oil companies went to bankruptcy, thousands of oil workers were laid off and left Alberta. That in turn caused real-estate bankruptcy. We don’t want to replay that history.

The fact that Ted Morton committed to increase loyalty only convince me more he is lack of experience.

Vote for Jim Dinning. Get the Alberta we are ready for.

明天，十二月二日，阿尔伯塔人民将选择一个新省长，他将带领阿尔伯塔人民迎战未来的十年。

我会选老杨做省长。

猪刀小试

医疗改革中国已经走在了加拿大的前边。我们90年代就开始了公共医疗私有化的改革。结果就是流民遍地，惨不忍睹。
