It is. But it is all relative. I don't have time to look up the data from the Conference Board of Canada, but I am willing to guess Calgary offers one of the lowest business taxation regimes out of 5 biggest cities in Canada. Federal, provincial and municipal taxes are not going to go down, neither business nor personal. Governments want more tax revenue to support their political agendas, which are clearly shifting left on all levels with a lesser number of taxpayers to fund it. Again, this is a good topic to discuss but not at all relevant to the arena issue.
