I'm not surprised at her attitude. Shannon Phillips has always impressed me as being more arrogant and contemptuous of Albertans than her boss Red Rachel.


Her policies strike me as being revenge for some unidentified offence. Unfortunately, many of her cabinet colleagues aren't much better.

Second go Wages $40,000 Gas 200 L/mon GJ 135 Food $1000 Married 3 kids 2017 $1535 2018 $2333

The wealthy won't notice the increased costs, the middle class will be screwed, and the poor will get a rebate that's substantially more than the tax they pay. It's little more than Socialist wealth redistribution and skimming off the top to grow the government bureaucracy bigger.

Wait, I thought the CBC was the leftist media system, that would never criticize the NDP?

With most of the middle class going downhill that means the load on the welfare system will increase and unless people are expected to live in abject poverty it will be expensive at the same time. Since most properties will be 'rentals' the utilities might just be paid to the utility companies rather than sent to the renters. The price will just be added onto their monthly rent and late payments become a thing of the past and the rent and utilities come off before the payments are deposited. Their money is for food and entertainment, lots of both as they keep a variety of business going as manufacturing is automated as much as practical so the not working outnumber the working by a great deal.
