Hmmm. Can someone tell me why Albertans are getting temporary relief from their provincial gas tax AND an electricity rebate from their government?
Why is our provincial government not enacting similar measures to deal with gas price increases?

The Alberta government will stop collecting its fuel tax at the start of April and plans to offer a $150 electricity rebate in an effort to help Albertans deal with rapidly rising fuel and energy costs.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney made the announcement on Monday, calling it a “bold decision” that gives “real relief.”
“This is a fiscally responsible measure that will only provide this relief if, in fact, the province is generating significantly additional revenues, Kenney said.
The provincial gas tax amounts to 13 cents per litre of gasoline and diesel and would not be collected as long as the cost of West Texas Intermediate remains above US $90
