CALGARY—Canadian income taxpayers outside Alberta would have to pay about $1,000 more in higher taxes every year to maintain Ottawa’s current spending levels if not for Albertans’ outsized (net) contribution to federal finances, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Many Canadians don’t realize what a sizeable contribution Albertans make to federal finances and how taxpayers in other provinces benefit from it,” said Tegan Hill, Director of Alberta Policy at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Illustrating Albertans’ contribution to the rest of Canada.
