Ya.seen it in the ****ters in the coal mines in B.C. and the oilsands.
I'm not surprised.

I'm not surprised.
Even with PST of 5% I still pay less taxes in SK. which already maintains the most complex road (250,000km) system in Canada.
Nothing complex,most of its straight as an arrow.Even with PST of 5% I still pay less taxes in SK. which already maintains the most complex road (250,000km) system in Canada.
I knew it was the millwrights at the mine so came up with my own to add to the wall.I'm not surprised.
Ummm, do you speak with any qualifications??? Any basis for your skewed observation?? Or are you just flapping your jaws for some exercise ???
You'd be surprised what you'd find if you didn't take highways 1 or 16.
Yeah with income tax and property tax combined we beat AB apparently. Election is coming so I assume they'll try to buy my ass with my own money and drop them even more.
Lemme guess, more flat expanse and lots of black flies and skeeters.
Apparently?
Here's the skinny:
What are the income tax rates in Canada?
Saskatchewan 11% on the first $40,919 of taxable income, +
13% on the next $75,992, +
15% on the amount over $116,911
Alberta 10% of taxable income
So, it looks like the education system in Sask doesn't quite excel in the reading comprehension dept... As far as property taxes are concerned, your property has to actually be worth something before the dollars amount to more than you'd find in your couch.
Do you speak with any qualifications? No, no you don't.
You are one of those who magically believe that Alberta appeared in 1905, exactly as it is today, with no input from the rest of Canada or the world.
You might want to do a little research into the history of the Alberta oil industry, it might help you.
Then add in AB and user fees - More fees on my Gas - Water Electricity bill. - High city taxes where i live - 2nd highest in AB - The other place is higher - much higher about double.
Good point on the input issue... Let's review.
GP taxes+utility bills tops in Alberta - Grande Prairie Daily Herald Tribune - Alberta, CA
Grande Prairie has some of the highest municipal taxes in Alberta and by far the highest utility charges, making the city one of the most expensive in Canada, according to the latest annual report by the City of Edmonton.
Edmonton's survey compares property taxes and utility rates in 21 cities and towns across Alberta and Canada. It says an average household in Grande Prairie paid $1,993 in property taxes, 11th of the 21 surveyed, but higher than all other Alberta cities polled – Lethbridge, Edmonton, Red Deer, Medicine Hat and Calgary.
Alberta's largest city, Calgary, was the cheapest at $989; Edmonton was seventh with $1,434.
But when all utility costs, including power, natural gas and water, were factored in, Grande Prairie jumped to the most expensive city on the overall list.
Sure.... Up until 1947, Alberta depended on cattle to survive.

Probably on a per capita basis, it's tough for a city of 50 thousand to compare with a city of one million. I would also guess there is a additional costs for every degree/day of cold.

Yeah, whatever... The bottom-line is that any such analysis is fully dependent on comparing relative populations to the services provided, relative to getting the cost of those services delivered.
Also, comparing a variety of AB cities against one another odes nothing to provide a comparison of AB to the ROC.
Sending transfer payments to provinces that are addicted to spending and live with a culture of entitlement, is not problem solving either. Only an easterner would consider it patriotic to receive this welfare transfer payment!!
You Easterners are a touchy bunch!

Agreed - As different services are provided. But AB is anot a thrifty place to live. And the 10% tax benefits the higher income levels does it not when compared to other provinces tax rates.
