      It’s hidden in the prices of goods so people don’t notice it’s there. It was 5% when I was there a number of years ago.

          Alberta: We’ve balanced our budget based on the price of oil!

          Oil: drops to a point where it’s worth less than the barrel it’s in.

          Alberta: <surprised Pikachu>

        Where the fuck does this come from a hidden tax. We don’t have a hidden tax at all, we have federal GST. If Alberta had a hidden 5% tax can anyone tell me why stuff costs the same in Saskatchewan and BC then they add a tax?
