Instead it basically became a provincial sales tax that targets individuals instead of mega companies.
So as an individual he bolted.

Yup. I have no problem with Edwards as an individual, but when he and the the leaders of three other large companies lined up behind Notley, it was obvious that the people most likely to benefit - or at least suffer least - were the four people lining up behind Notley. Prudent move on their part, and we get screwed with a PST by another name.
