Same thing happened last year. Calgary actually did a very good job showing where the increases are coming from but most people don't have time for an infographic haha
For the average family they still came ahead with the corresponding income tax drop. Guessing the province was happy with people not understanding what was happening and they loved the increase from rich people/corporations.
I expect that's the path they take for increases for a bit until a PST conversation occurs. Especially if rents keep trending down.
