Rubbing our noses in it
Re: HST
Dear Ontarians:
Unlike you, we Albertans are not burdened by either an HST or a PST.
True, we do pay the 5 per cent GST, but with a second major
right-of-centre political party on the scene, the Wildrose Alliance,
Alberta in the future is likely to remain both HST- and PST-free.
In short, a good place to live, work in, invest in. Those of you with
marketable skills, entrepreneurial gifts, heartily sick of being taxed
to the max by pickpocket politicians, should consider picking up and
moving here. You'll fit right in, make great Albertans!

shrill in decrying the “socialism” of our long-ruling Progressive
Conservatives -- said to be too progressive and insufficiently
conservative -- Alberta in future is likely to remain both HST- and
PST-free. In short, a good place to live, work in and invest in. Those
with marketable skills or entrepreneurial talent, heartily sick of
being taxed to the max by pickpocket politicians, should consider
moving here. You’ll fit right in and make great Albertans!
