Albertans, Not Happy Campers!

Well, trust the G&M to try and make Alberta the bad guy, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

Here's why we are not happy campers: And despite multibillion-dollar budget surpluses and a provincewide construction boom to try to accommodate the teeming inflow of newcomers:

— 24 per cent said the post-secondary education has worsened.

— 28 per cent said grade-school education has deteriorated.

— 51 per cent said their community has not improved or, in some cases, even worsened.

— 70 per cent said there has been no improvement in their family's health and well-being.

The survey, conducted Sept. 10-12, is considered accurate within 2.6 percentage points 19 times out of 20. When just the 350 Alberta respondents are counted, the sampling error is plus or minus 5.2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.


76% think post-secondary education is better or the same.
72% think grade school education is better or the same.
49% think that their community have improved.
30% have seem an improvement in health and well being.

Also remember this is an online poll.

Mental health counsellor Robert Peters, says: “We need to address this particular road-rage phenomenon more actively and directly in group therapy,” said Mr. Peters.

Oh, it appears Mr. note not DR. Peters wants more clients....enough said. Just more Alberta bashing from the G&M.
