Really? Let me spell out my logic for you: Alberta derives 0% of its revenues from sales tax. Ontario (for example) charges an 8% tax on nearly every retail transaction in the province. This contributes a not insignificant amount to its total revenue. Is that difficult to accept.
EDIT: Fata it, I went ahead and googled it even though it was an asinine request. Ontario's sales tax generated#over 17 billion dollars in 2012 (or roughly 30% of all (non federal transfer) revenues. Again, the WRP's conclusion was clearly disingenuous.
