It really isn't your money through, it isn't as though you are getting a tax refund. It is Alberta's money, if it was really your money they would calculate your income tax relative to all funds coming into the government coffers over the course of the year and anything that was extra they would send you back that percentage that you contributed... which would likely be closer to 3 dollars than 300.
Fact is it isn't your money, it is the Alberta Government's money which has mostly been collected from Oil Revenues.
