He could easily make Alberta's healthcare the envy of the whole world Yes, he could - by pulling us out of the communist Canada Health Act. Universality (i.e., "share the poverty and death") has evil implications. As others have said, Klein is not all that conservative. Certainly, he is to the right of the Liberals, but then the NDP is to the right of the communist party. They are all to the left of what used to be considered "center". How much of the economy should be run by the government for it to be considered centrist? 50%? I think not. If anything over 10% or so of GDP is government, the system is obviously socialist to some degree.
