The rate would be reduced by the same amount on the first day of the following three years, leaving it at eight per cent on Jan. 1, 2020.

His United Conservative government has already introduced bills to end the provincial carbon tax and reduce the minimum wage for those under 18.

LukaszukAB 630CHED A massive gift to the corporate rich who will just keep the extra income. This will not increase job hiring from these corporations, especially the foreign controlled Oil Patch. Murray Edwards with CNRL which is now based in the U.K. is saying thanks Jason.

Surprise, surprise ...

Trump also help corporations

good job. good to know who's holding his leash

Hit young people’s salaries and pay corporations. Sigh

These charlatans took over office just for this but claimed they are all for small business! Frauds..!!!

Again cooperate welfare at the trough.

Reckless.

Don’t you think lowering personal tax wouldn’t that stimulate the economy?

Just curious but with legalizing drugs now and with that money the people that live here should also have way lower tax? Or people will continue to vacate Canada to get away from it?

Lowering taxes kicks the poor in the teeth.

Alberta must be doing really well,now are all the other taxpayers going to get the same cut in their tax’s.

WOW that didn’t take long .

Because trickle down has always worked before..SMH

And so who makes up that shortfall eh? Hmmm.

Corporations v. Consumers Consumers vote Corporations donate Lie to voters, bend over for donators.

Welfare for corporations first, Albertans second.

That 1% sure needs help corporatesuckup

while cutting minimum wage, Alberta's version of Ontario's dumbass, CORRUPTED Premier!

the trickle down theory .... puts money in the pockets of shareholders and business owners ... not the people

That shortfall will have to come from somewhere.

Here we go. Let the slashing begin...

Remember when NDP raised it from 10%-12%? Media reported it as a 2% raise. (Was 20%) Now because it’s a cut by conservatives, they report it as a 33% cut. (Not a 4% decrease) This is an example of the fake news Trump always talks about. CTV, people have no use for you anymore.

True Conservative !! Give to the rich. Now let’s see what he cuts to make that up?

are these people daft? Cutting minimum wage then making the corporations richer won't create jobs. People will leave the province

Suckers, you deserve it.

And take it right out of working slaves pockets! Guess slaves don't have time ti Kidd ass!

Why not slash personal income tax and let rich dudes look after themselves. Oh right. They paid for your election.

That didn’t take long

He isn’t even trying to sell it as trickle down economics...just blatemtly making the rich richer. fucknkenney

good for business...it actually does work...only leftists who like to live off the government hate this cause then they have to go work for a private employer...(if they actually work!)

Good stuff! That mean more employees and higher wages !!

Look for jkenney to increase the limit for corporations to donate to his party soon.

Well well well. Seems we have a leader in place!

That means cuts to education, healthcare and a massive deficit. BC Liberals tried this and it didn’t work.

wow this is getting ridiculous. pure greed. corporations need to contribute at least enough to pay for what they use. airports roads, police etc etc etc. the greed is unending. when usa taxes were higher it didn't stop USa from investing in all the competition alberta now has

how about slash middle income taxes by a third?

What Bill Morneau doesn’t want you to notice in the IMF’s report on the Canadian economyKevin Carmichael: Maybe Bill Morneau has a right to be proud, but the IMF isn’t as taken with his work as Finance makes it sound Like most countries, it doesn't like being told what to do and think that the IMF is just another level of bureaucracy at the UN that they can not get a chair at. Boy, you had to work hard to find any negativities amongst all the positives. Is that really what they pay you for at the NP? Growth of 1.5% and inflation above 2%. Net gain -0.5. That sounds like JustinTrudeau math
