Alberta Premier should desist from the temptation that taxing Albertans more will get the province out of this crisis;taxing people who are already hard-hit will just drive them further into the ditch. People will simply stop spending (and for us small spenders, kijiji takes care of sales tax).Instead of sales tax, he should try the following: 1) Beg federal government for money (they brag that they will have a surplus this year), 2) Maybe raise taxes on the top 1% only, 3) and finally cut some spending especially on huge public office wages. globalnews.ca/news/1771889/alberta-premier-prentice-considers-sales-tax-to-fix-ailing-oil-based-economy/
