Joseph Simons 🍁 🌱"By the #Alberta government’s own calculations, if we had the same #tax regime (personal, business, and other taxes) as the province with the next lowest taxes, #BritishColumbia, that would generate an additional $16.9 billion in revenues in the 2026-2027 fiscal year. If we emulated #Ontario or #Saskatchewan, the difference climbs to just over $22 billion, and importing the tax regime of #Quebec would generate an extra $31.1 billion."
The above is from one suggestion among many. See link for more.

Paula KirmanI spent most of the weekend photographing the Parkland Institute's 29th annual fall conference. This year's theme was Democracy Under Siege: Strengthening the Safeguards. The overall theme was the rise of autocracy and misinformation, and how this is causing democracy to crumble. I particularly enjoyed sessions dealing with education and media, and how both can be used to counter the growing authoritarian threat.
