Reality Check: Danielle Smith’s ‘unconstitutional’ carbon tax policy claims misleading to public

Summary by Ground News
Premier Danielle Smith said the federal government is using collected tax money to buy votes in the Eastern provinces. But experts say that is just not true. 90 per cent of the taxes collected under the fuel charge are returned to Albertans every three months through direct deposit, explained Trevor Tombe, a professor of economics at the University of Calgary. Smith has compared Alberta to Quebec, a province that has notoriously tried to separate from and distinguish itself from Canada.
