Neat.
Like what are you even pretending about here? “My money should go to municipal” well great, the UCP is actively taking money and power out of municipalities. “I don’t want someone in Ottawa…” but you’re fine with someone in Edmonton telling someone in Ottawa how it should be everywhere else. “It’s a lottery system that subsidizes the rich” the UCP literally removed subsidies for lower income families so higher income families would pay less lol.
Albertans can complain about Canada all they want but I’m getting pretty bored of traitors whining about funding while the provincial government actively makes things more expensive while (somehow) destroying services at the same time and keeps saying no to federal funding.

Nothing confusing about it. Pretty much standard in Europe. Like our income taxes are higher than Norway, the stereotypical high tax county. Jack up sales taxes and drop income taxes. As a CPA I'm biased but our tax system is broken. Income taxes are not capable of keeping up in a global economy. You tax activities, not income. You'll get way more money from rich people and non residents.
And yes, that is stupid by the ucp. Why would you think I agree with that when I've said I want the opposite. I want my property taxes and my municipal government to double their budget. With that tax capacity being taken from the feds/provinces income taxes.
