No one wants to pay taxes, but I have a feeling that more taxes are a lot more palatable when you compare it against cutting the services that people want.
The problem is that Albertans have a natural distrust for the government, and the way the PCs have been handling everything isn't going to work well for them if they come out and say 'if you want to keep your services, you have to pay more taxes'....when spending has shot through the roof, and services are...okay?
