Kenney has roots in eastern Canada

Dear Editor, There are many who think that Alberta conservative politicans can do no wrong. Well this corporate tax giveaway that Jason Kenney is proposing has me in doubt. We know banks are extremely profitable.

Dear Editor,

There are many who think that Alberta conservative politicans can do no wrong. Well this corporate tax giveaway that Jason Kenney is proposing has me in doubt.

We know banks are extremely profitable. The big banks have embraced automation and computer power on a large scale. These financial institutions are among the biggest corporations in Canada and they are shedding their workforce at an alarming rate. Do they really need a tax break?

Heaven knows that Alberta pays a huge sum of money in equalization payments to eastern Canada. With the reduction in corporate tax, the Jason Kenney plan will be giving the easterners an additional bonanza from tax money that could be used in Alberta. Should we fall for a Kenney government, it is quite likely that Albertans will be the laughing stock for eastern Canada.

Perhaps Albertans should get the pipelines built. We can keep our present Premier and continue weeding out the deadwood that the previous Conservative government built into the system. It takes more than one term to get rid of that deadwood and maybe we will be spared the humiliation.
