Ottawa is screwing Alberta, but Alberta is also screwing Alberta.
Alberta doesn't need a sales tax -- it needs a head tax on carpetbaggers. Stat.

LOL, resource royalties are part of a national plan. A portion of them are sent to Ottawa.
Some of it is put into the Alberta Heritage fund
the rest put towards Gov Ab revenues.
My friends who are Drs that moved to BC over the past few years are learning the harsh reality of business in BC. It costs more to live there.
As for our Drs being paid more in Ab. it depends on how one looks at the overall compensation process.
If you don't look at the business model then you fail to understand the "higher" wages of Ab over BC Drs.
Cost verses expenses can be interesting.
One thing is the same across the Country, We are short on Healthcare professionals.
