I have said for a while that the smartest thing the Alberta government could have done would have been to implement a 2% PST when the GST was reduced to 5%.
Would have been a no change situation for people and would have led to a pretty good chunk of change for Alberta over the last 10 years that would have really supported our lacking infrastructure.
