Is the fund is not growing ?

Frankly I'm mostly on the fence on the Alberta Royalty issue.. The new plan seems comparable with what the UK had/has going on in the North Sea. I'm not qualified to decide and even Coxe for all his rhetoric only talks in generalities.. I think it's an issue where you need lots of accurate models showing hard examples to explain properly... otherwise it's all talk and talk is cheap.. There is an endless supply :O)

Then again that's mostly how we vote these days... based on cheap talk..

Interestingly I voted Liberal (it's been many many years since I've done that :O) in our recent provincial election... The cynic in me was not going to bother voting but we had an electoral reform referendum also...

Anyway tuning out all the predictable same old same old rhetoric... I noticed that my eight year old has only 20 kids in his public school grade three class. There are enough kids for 2.5 classes @ 20 kids per class. The school had two teachers fro grade three. They hired a third instead of making bigger classes. Seemed to me something was finally being done correctly in the system. My fifteen year old daughter went to the same school and routinely has 30 (or more) kids in her classes. Such a little thing got my vote.
