Honestly, I think the provincial government would have more than enough money to fund all of the desired services if they eliminated the monstrous list of wasted money, grifts, and lost investment in Alberta that the UCP causes regularly.
Adjusting the corporate tax would likely be enough to close the gap, but I think taxing the richest brackets is also a solid move to boost revenue. I would make a new bracket that is higher than the top one (7 figures) and give it an even bigger tax rate.
Those things should be enough to avoid a PST and still fund services way beyond their current levels.
