I don't get his a flat tax is harder on the poor, that argument makes no sense when Alberta I think has one of the highest exemption dollar figures in the country.

I think anyone making under $18,500 pays no provincial tax.

I can't think of any more of a fair and progressive tax then a flat tax with a reasonable exemption.

Its easy to calculate for the provincial government as well which means its cheaper to implement.
