However, from that statistic, the WRP draws the absurd conclusion that Alberta does not have a revenue problem. The obvious problem with that conclusion is that income tax is only one of many possible sources of revenue. For example, all other provinces rely heavily on sales taxes for revenue whereas Alberta does not. The conclusion drawn in the link you provided is therefore either disingenuous or incompetent.

Looking for a link to prove your assertions. What's the percentage of revenue derived from sales tax per capita in each province and how does that compare to Alberta's revenues?
