The mayors of both Edmonton and Calgary, the Alberta Urban Municipalites Association and the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties have put forth a report with a list of new and unusual taxes.
"Not only have the big city mayors dreamed up a horde of new taxes - including their own oil and gas royalties (they call it "raising the necessary revenues from resource utilizers") - they want the Tories to set up "formalized regional agencies," that will have the power to "address cost and revenue sharing issues."
"Already on the list is a concert and hockey ticket tax, a hotel tax, a vehicle registration surcharge, jacked up development levies and charging resource firms "economic rent."....."
