CALGARY — Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and his newly appointed Finance Minister Travis Toews will move to “renew the Alberta Advantage” on Monday, implying the province is about to slash taxes even as it awaits the outcome of a panel convened to study the province’s finances.
Kenney and the UCP also criticized tax hikes by the previous NDP government and talked publicly about restoring the “Alberta Advantage” championed by former premier Ralph Klein. The Alberta Advantage included a flat 10-per-cent personal income tax rate on everyone in the province, but the UCP stopped short of promising to reduce personal income taxes for Albertans earning over $128,000 per year back down to 10 per cent.
As a result of the panel’s focus, Thomas said it’s not surprising the new government would move to start cutting taxes before the panel delivers its report.

More debt & continue pissing away their resources.
What social services will be cut? Not much of an advantage when you cut education and health care.
Hey jkenney I already benefit from the 10% tax rate. For whom are you planning a tax cut?
The Alberta advantage, letting the wealthy reap the benefits of Socialism while putting the rest of the taxpaying poor on a good healthy diet of Capitalism.
Haha. Waiting on the trickle down.
Alta Govt gave Lafarge $70 million from Climate Fund ( financed by carbon levy) to lower their emissions by 40%. Maybe they can give it back if getting big tax cut? Asking for a friend.

Millionaires migrate to Australia and Canada from China and U.K. to seek business and avoid taxAbout 108,000 millionaires migrated across borders last year, a 14 percent increase from the prior year, and more than double the level in 2013 What’s new? Canada is no longer a desirable place to do business and get wealthy. Trudeau and his liberals have turned us into a socialist state.

Opinion: Why progressives should reject the carbon taxThe federal carbon tax will change behaviour, but it really takes aim at lower-income families – and with such regressive taxation, it’s little wonder that populism is growing GlobeDebate Good article - every progressive should read it and absorb it. I mean I object to the opening premise completely - but the parts about Oil Companies lobbying FOR a carbon tax should open eyes. Will it? doubtful. GlobeDebate The mistake every expert is making is blaming CO2 for climate change. It’s a tiny fraction of what controls climate. It also is the 1 ingredient required for the growth of vegetation and forests which we have urbanized. Right now, the more CO2, the better. GlobeDebate Everyone should reject this tax grab. BC shows us that taxes do not reduce co2.
