The Alberta government, under Klein, never had a clue what it was doing or why unless it was greasing someone's palms, expecting big returns in their own bank accounts.<BR/><BR/>A sociopath is someone who usually is very charismatic, feels no remorse and basically cares about nothing but his own well-being and is willing to exploit any/every one.<BR/><BR/>Check Smith's public speeches in the mid to late 1990's. He actually BRAGS about never having a plan and how a plan is not necessary. That all you have to do is make sure that the cuts apply equally across ministries.<BR/><BR/>It is no wonder he got his sweetheart deal. He is a sweet talker that has faked his way through the political spectrum, and with no morals has been able to sell himself to the highest bidder.<BR/><BR/>Who would argue it if no one knew about it? 3years to release contrats! The OIPC is likely to have a change at the top soon.
