I'm more interested in looking at more than one province for one year.
We already know Alberta collects 15% more income tax and 15% more corporate tax than other provinces, on average.
How does this relate to provincial sales taxes on a per capita basis over time? Surely Alberta, with its resource riches, could, or could have, lived off of interest from saving resource revenues instead of introducing more taxes.
