Albertans turn to humour in response to premier’s fiscal comments

It seems there are quite a lot of people turning to online quips in response to the premier’s comments Wednesday.

When fielding a question, Jim Prentice indicated that all Albertans are responsible for getting the province into a financial mess and everyone has to help clean it up.

His comments were in relation to a statement that, in order to keep Alberta competitive, he would not be raising taxes on corporations.

Prentice has said the government will table a radical and far-reaching budget and long-term financial plan later this month.

A number of people have taken issue with what appears to be a statement placing the blame for the Province’s economic problems on every day Albertans.

The hashtag #PrenticeBlamesAlbertans was not only trending on Twitter in Calgary Wednesday, but in Canada as well.
