The report also said it is time for Alberta to re-create its own consumer carbon tax, in favour of the federal program.
“The reality is they’re not going away and it’s a matter of control,” said Legge. “We need to reassert our control over the collection and distribution of that money.”The platform also calls for continued investment in post-secondary education for the development of an in-demand skilled workforce. Legge credited the government for making strides in adapting immigration models and targets for credentialing, and the skilled labour mobility act, but more work is needed. He pointed to health care and the Nova Scotia model, in which a nurse can be recertified in 24 hours, a process that could take months if not years in Alberta.
Fuck off sales tax. How about the government spends less money instead?
