1) Taxes

The most ingrained UCP policy is killing off the provincial carbon tax and doing away with the NDP’s climate leadership plan, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Kenney has reneged on a UCP-member approved stance to take Alberta back to a flat tax, but said a UCP government would cut corporate taxes to eight per cent from 12 per cent over the next four years. He has said repeatedly Alberta is in for a series of fiscal belt-tightening measures. If there’s insufficient movement on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion by fall 2021, Kenney has also promised a referendum on removing equalization from the constitution.
