Hmm, I'm not a tax expert but I'm wondering if it would be considered tax evasion.
I'm not talking about keeping things like federal taxes collected in Alberta, nor EI/CPP, etc., just the Equalization payments. I don't think that's part of the tax structure, but I could be wrong.
We need to draw a line in the sand. The equalization thing has been ridiculous for decades (placating Quebec so that they stay in Canada). Now it's just plain stupid, and they're not willing to give us a break given the economic situation in Alberta.
