Other then the immediate reduction in the carbon tax at the pump that was eliminated in the spring, I can't say I actually noticed the price of anything go down when it was removed after the election. I am sure we will notice the price of everything go up again in the next few weeks with carbon tax coming back though. Interesting times ahead.

Bend over and take er like a man....nothing new for us native albertans. Seems like if it isn't one thing it's another. The sun will rise on the 'Moro and life will be what we make of it. ..

The only part that really annoys me is when they quote all the new taxes being "Federal" they affect Alberta only. Well, we are the only ones that pay in, the eastern provinces take out.

I have cut back a lot of stuff, buy in bulk whenever I find deals, guess we just have to continue being smart about expenditures.
