That's what we
should do. But that would require Alberta voters to act like adults, and recognize we can't get all our wants on the cheap, and we may have to both A) pay taxes comparable to what the rest of Canada and the developed world pay, and B) cut back on public spending. But the left will never agree to cutting public service jobs or salaries, and the right will never agree to have a tax regime that is only tied for the lowest in Canada, and not the lowest by far.
