No, they aren't. Municipalities are responsible for collecting it. They are not raising it. They don't have a choice. This wishy-washy language only boosts the success of the UCP's strategy here. Don't do their job for them.
This is 100% the province raising property taxes disproportionately on Calgarians, and all the excess taxes are going to the province, not the city. That is clear.
