Sorry Tax Rate.
Alberta's tax rates have been too low to support the services it offers. They rely on resource revenue to subsidize services. The Alberta Advantage was sitting on a highly valuable resource. Not its flat tax. So we have a few options to ween ourselves off of resource revenue. Increase taxation or cut services. A combination of both are required. The NDP did a good job of making the revenue side sensible. Now we need someone to attack the spending side.
