Do you have a source for this? If nothing else, there is no possible way you could make that claim with any certainty. gas reserves will never run out, merely our desire/ability to extract them will run out. And there is no way that that can be predicted.

As for Norway, that is a country not a province so they have more control. They also have one of the highest costs of living and tax rates in the developed world.

I am not against a tax hike if it is needed, but what happens when we implement a HST and resource prices rebound. Do we cut taxes or raise spending to match the revenue leaving us screwed the next time prices drop.
