Not much for 1 Billion now, Prince George hospital size maybe.
Toronto Western Hospital Patient Tower 82 bed is 1.1 billion.

Heck of a deal on the Vancouver hospital! Maybe some of this was built or contracted for before construction costs increased a lot. Here is a 2024 article that refers to an estimated $5 billion cost for the South West Edmonton one. Not sure if this is accurate, but this seems more in line with the Mississauga one which I assume is also probably larger.

Budget released soon, any guesses?

A bunch of long term funding commitments - some of which will be recycled for the umpteenth time - and most of which will be have severe limitations and/or restrictions attached that will extend well past this budget year so they can be readily clawed back.

No new health care spending but move to more private delivery services. Stollery will get funding only for the next phase of planning. No construction money though.
Education we have heard but they will reiterate 11-20 new schools over the next 2 years.
Completion of twinning highway 11 and 3. No new transportation funding.
Reduce Government staff by 20% over the next 2 years.

Like the Feds I imagine this'll be done through attrition and early retirements.

The deficit is annoyingly high for sure, looks like for 2026/27 they are using a average WTI price of $60.50 as their assumption. If I was wagering I think we might see a higher average than that once the books are closed.

No new hospitals or beds for at least 5 years. even if they start now. We are so fucked.
Nait Advanced skills will get started this year. Planning is pretty much done.

Yet $74M to Cardston's hospital???? WTF???!!! Ever been to Cardston? They do NOT need a new hospital.....yet we are dying in the waiting rooms......
Btw, never heard of Cardston getting a new hospital - EVER! Where did this come from? Is one her minions representing that shit hole?
I guess YEG'ers can always drive to Red Deer to visit their upcoming palatial new hospital.....
For some reason, this is bugging me the most......$279M to twin the highway to Rocky Fucking Mountain House?

Did the province discontinue low income transit pass funding? Mayor Knack/City of Edmonton's Wishlist wanted $6M. Can't find anything about LITP (Low Income Transit Pass) in budget docs.

Gotta throw a couple of scraps to the UCP base.

The twinning may coincide with the initiative to develop more tourism in the province. There would be a route from the Rockies terminating in Calgary, Red Deer, and Edmonton. At the same time, it's MAGA country so it makes one wonder if that's the reason behind the twinning.

half the highway between Red Deer and RMH is already divided so presumably it was always intended to continue. Services are being maintained which is great but crazy seeing such a deficit with what seems like not a ton of major projects going on (although decent amount of LRT ongoing I guess).
