Whether they did or didn't, neither of us know that. You're on a hypothetical path to try and get me to support pst, or any other taxes. Alberta has no pst and gives away billions so imo a tax isn't needed if Alberta was to become a sovereign nation. Edited April 28, 2020 by Ryan Strome 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're on a hypothetical path to try and get more to support pst, or any other taxes. Alberta has no pst and gives away billions so imo a tax isn't needed if Alberta was to become a sovereign nation.

Yes, however all money stays in Alberta. Truthfully after covid19 if Alberta was independent a gst would likely have to be implemented, however it could be maybe only for 10 years or something. Also, again if we did need a gst from Edmonton (preferably Calgary ) it would be no different than having to pay gst from Ottawa but I don't want a second tax like everywhere except Alberta. Your conversation is going in a couple directions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oil industry has nothing to do with fuel prices, unless by industry you mean your provincial government.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alberta in Canada is not implementing a pst, every party in the province opposes it save for the liberals. Let's be real the Alberta liberals were slugging it out with the rhino party in the last election. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
