How much is the delay (and it is only a delay) in imposing a sales tax going to cost Alberta?
Absolutely not. Until the NDP government can show to be more efficient or at the very least attempt an effort to reduce spending and waste there is no way I would be accepting to give them another cent. Nothing they have done so far shows me they are capable and they are already increasing taxes in the disguise of a "carbon levy".
I have zero trust in them to use tax dollars wisely and flat out refuse to contribute anymore to the current government fat and entitlement while the private sector struggles.
