The government of Alberta is proposing another greedy tax grab of up to 10% on Alcohol in the coming months. Adding up to $2.85 on liquor and $1.30 on beer.
Since 2009 the government of Alberta has repeatedly added more and more taxes to alcohol changing Alberta from the once cheapest place for a beer in 2009 to the now most expensive in Canada (and that is before this additional tax is added on).
A survey of beer prices from St. John's, N.L., to Victoria shows Albertans are paying as much as $5 more a case for the same brew.
The price of Alberta beer is now higher than in any province, a complete reversal from April 2008, when this province boasted the lowest average price in Canada for a 12-pack, at $18.42.
Alison Redford is calling us sinners for drinking alcohol and promising to tax us all heavily with her sinners tax.
Total joke. Alberta used to be affordable but now we pay more than everyone else. leave our beer money alone.

Enough already with the taxes. Prices are getting ridiculous and they act like we have money trees in the backyard. Stop punishing the middle class for having a drink after a long work week.
