Considering the higher cost of delivering services in Alberta, it seems clear that Alberta does indeed have a revenue problem. On the other hand, the WRP clearly has an "intellectual honesty" (to borrow a popular expression on this forum) problem. |
You've yet again brought nothing to the table to back up your assertions. Not that I'm surprised really.
Wondering how you got a per capita non-renewable resource revenue number from income that excluded non-renewable resource revenues? Do you have any idea what you are even talking about anymore?
Still waiting for a comparison of revenue from sales taxes per capita across provinces. Until then, the only one having a problem with "intellectual honesty" is you.
