Ya, this doesn't help struggling Albertans, it helps those who drive lots. Does the price of a transit pass drop? No, of course not. That's not to say no one who drives isn't struggling, but this is a really dumb thing to do. Give up revenues that can be directed at those struggling, or just hand it back to drivers of inefficient vehicles? ####ing dumb.
You really think an Alberta only drop in fuel taxes will reduce things like grocery prices? Because if so, I've got a Danielle Smith to sell you.
