    Why doesn't Alberta use a Provincial sales tax instead of resource revenue as a better source of stable revenue? This would reduce Alberta's boom and bust cycle that challenges government budgets.

      Chuck wants taxes so he can finally buy cheaper subsidised solar power system.

        Binthere do you not remember the Fraser institute reports that showed Alberta businesses get just as many business subsidies per capita as Quebec?

        Surprise Surprise many Alberta businesses and jobs are dependent on tax payer subsidies!

        Pretty good for a province that likes to portray itself as independent, hard working, better than the rest of the country kinda of place.

              Exactly. Credit rating agency says first downgrade had a lot to do with drop in oil price but now it’s the govt fault. Were on a negative trend it says with the weakest budget outlook of all provinces.

              Grass and chuck are so full of sh*t...

                        Before anyone gets sucked into Oliver88 claim that the NDP is the reason why investment in oil and gas is down in Alberta, consider these FACTS

                        The baseline for the Alberta comparison was 2014. In July of 2014 the price of West Texas Intermediate crude was US$105.24. The day Notley took office in 2015 the price had already dropped to US$60.40 and continued to decline to its low of US$45.17 in July of 2017. The price of WTI dropped has dropped over 40% between 2014, a year before Notley took office until today. Couple that with the fact the oil sands are some of the most expensive oil to extract and sells at a discount to WTI, and you claim the NDP is the reason for the fall of the INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVNESS of oil in Alberta from #14 to #33 is plain naïve.

                                Dml are you serious? Last Alberta was 45th in this survey. Taxation policies of the NDP and Canada's inability to get pipelines built are the reason
