God, their government is retarded. During all the oil years, when even fast food employees were making bank, they handed out extra money to everyone through both low taxes and actual handouts. Like, Albertans literally receive checks from the government in the mail a couple times a year. Now that the easy oil money is gone, they decide to gouge people to make up the difference. And since there isn&#x27;t any easy oil money keeping them there, everyone who can afford to will leave. Why not tax in the rich years and ease up in the lean years? That would be too logical for Texas North, I guess.
