"A progressive tax or some other substitute needs to be implemented, but politicians lack the courage to pass a change that would not benefit the financial contributors that put them in office."

The voters and the corporations make it pretty challenging for any policy maker who want to mess with the low-tax narrative of Alberta.

If the majority of the public and the business leaders acknowledged Alberta's sub-optimal taxation and investment strategy, the politicians wouldn't need balls of steel to pull off reasonable economic policies.
