Shredding the Public Interest
Ralph Klein and 25 Years of One-Party Government
Kevin Taft
Alberta had the tightest controls on spending in Canada during the very period when the Klein government has claimed costs were soaring out of control. Now, public programs in Alberta-including health care-have become the most poorly supported in Canada. (6 weeks on the Financial Post national best-seller list!)

Reviews
“When the [Parkland] institute opened, it immediately raised the ire of the provincial government with the release of a book by Kevin Taft, now leader of Alberta's opposition Liberals, entitled Shredding the Public Interest…”
Richard Cairney, University of Alberta ExpressNews
"Shredding the Public Interest mounts a powerful case against those, of whatever political stripe, too long in power…. a cautionary tale indeed.”
David E. Smith, CBRA
