We need to take a very long, hard look at our spending and the value we receive for our Government dollars.
We're paying some of the highest taxes not only in this country but in the Western World, in conjunction with Oil royalties and the only solution the independent analysts and experts can come up with is 'add another tax?'
That is vapid and lazy.

We already have a sales tax rolling in.
You can't tax your way out of trouble, you have to look at your fundamental spending issues and work with that first.
If you come out to the people of this province and state, we're going to keep running a operational day to day deficit and spend your money like we're drunkards so give us more, your going to get a pretty extreme voter backlash in the next election.
