The United Conservative Party (UCP) said it believes an Alberta NDP government run by Rachel Notley will "hammer Alberta’s job creators" with a 38% anti-growth tax..On Friday, the UCP headed to Alberta’s Industrial Heartland in Fort Saskatchewan which is Canada’s largest hydrocarbon processing region..It's a world-class location for chemical, petrochemical, and energy investment that employs 30,000 full-time direct and indirect jobs..The UCP said Friday Notley’s 38% tax hike is a direct threat to the jobs, investment, diversification, and growth of the region.."The Industrial Heartland is Canada’s largest hydrocarbon processing region and is a large contributor to the diversification of Alberta’s economy and environmental leadership," the UCP said.."Access to low-cost fuels, an extremely competitive North American tax framework, a world-class workforce, and investment attraction tools make the Industrial Heartland an area of great opportunity and success for businesses.".The UCP said there are more than $40 billion in existing capital investments. More than 40 companies provide fuels, fertilizers, power, petrochemicals, hydrogen, and more to provincial and global consumers..Global-scale companies are actively investigating projects in the heartland, including Shell and Mitsubishi, Suncor and ATCO. Air Products, another international company, chose the Industrial Heartland to build a multi-billion-dollar net-zero hydrogen energy complex, making Alberta a leader in the clean hydrogen economy with the lowest-carbon intensity hydrogen network in the world.."All of this is now under threat by Notley’s NDP, who intend to hammer Alberta’s job creators with a 38% anti-growth tax. She claims the NDP’s 38% tax hike would make us competitive with Ontario and Quebec, but she ignores global companies who are making significant, job-creating investments in Alberta.".Dow Chemical also plans to build a net-zero petrochemical plant which experts believe could be the biggest capital investment in Alberta in 15 years..“Rachel Notley dismisses the concerns of businesses saying, ‘Frankly, I don’t exactly know they would go,” stated Dale Nally, UCP candidate for Morinville-St. Albert..“Not only does Notley want to tax businesses and investments out of Alberta, but she also supports production caps on our oil and gas sector which would kneecap Alberta’s Industrial Heartland and the 30,000 Alberta families whose livelihoods are directly tied to it.".Nally said not only will "her business-killing tax hike destroy the Alberta Advantage within Canada, but it will also see jobs and opportunity flow south of the border again.”.The UCP claims Notley’s new anti-growth tax will put the multi-billion-dollar investments and tens of thousands of jobs on the line..“We’ve seen this same failed approach before, but Rachel Notley doesn’t want to talk about her record in government because it’s abysmal,” said Jackie Armstong-Homeniuk, UCP candidate for Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville..“In 2015 the NDP hiked business taxes 20%, drove up debt, drove jobs out of Alberta, and told Albertans to seek opportunity elsewhere. Alberta families can’t afford the same devastation Rachel Notley and her NDP caused the last time they were in government.”.The UCP said a re-elected United Conservative Government will continue to open our doors to businesses and investment to create a stronger economy and more jobs for Albertans..“United Conservatives are committed to keeping taxes low and ensuring more companies like Dow and others, can find a home here in Alberta and create jobs for Albertans — jobs that don’t just impact the individual worker, but their spouse, children, and the other family members who rely on their income,” said Nally..“Our pro-growth policies led to more Canadians choosing to move to Alberta, because families, job creators, entrepreneurs, employers, and business owners know low taxes, good jobs, high wages, and opportunities matter.”.This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
