I wonder if the average Albertan puts 2 and 2 together on these sorts of things when reflecting on the effectiveness of the flat tax.
These kind of things get clawed back in all sorts of different ways that aren't explicitly labelled a 'tax'. The BC government does this with MSP premiums, which are paid into general revenue and account for roughly the same amount of income for the province as corporate taxes. They get to crow about lowering taxes without having to mention increasing MSP premiums year on year.

The Police service does not get the money from tickets. It goes into general city revenues. The police budget is determined independant of the amount of ticket revenue brought in.
