How is this business friendly? Especially to small businesses?
APP is a ####ing stupid idea.

If you went with the Quebec model the federal government would pay Alberta to collect taxes on its behalf so you would still have a single entity. Jobs would be moved to Alberta from Quebec as a result.
The APP is about 20 years late. We missed our best demographic advantage. I’m not sure switching now is worth losing the federal underwriting of it were it to underperform.
