Premier says price jump happening too late to trigger gas tax relief: "price >$80 has to be there for 3 months"

But regulations say it's only the avg of 20 days prior to March 16 to alter the April 1 tax rate.

Turns out, we're on the cusp of hitting the threshold.

As someone who worked at Heritage Park, and is currently living in a 100+ year old house (yeah it’s kind of wild thing), hearing this saddens me greatly and makes me determined to do what I can to preserve this lil house.

Urgent: Historical Society of Alberta has been informed that their funding from the Government of Alberta has been eliminated! The HSA was founded by our first Premier, Alexander Rutherford, in 1907 and was instrumental in drafting the Historical Resources Act. The HSA includes 5 chapters: The Chinook Country Historical Society (CCHS), Edmonton and District Historical Society (EDHS), The Lethbridge Historical Society (LHS), Central Alberta Historical Society (CAHS) and Peace Country Historical Society (PCHS). The Historical Society of Alberta has survived world wars and depressions, but it might not survive Budget 2026. Don’t let our story end here. Heritage isn’t a line item; it’s our foundation. 119 years of history erased in one budget. The committee reviews this budget on Wednesday. Please take 2 minutes to call and email Minister Tanya Fir-@tanyafirab, and tell her that Alberta’s history is not a “luxury” to be trimmed. Tanya Fir Phone: 780-422-3559 E-mail: acsw.minister@gov.ab.ca #AbLeg #AlbertaHistory #SaveTheHSA #abbudget

They can fix their application and re-apply in the future.
