Alberta ’s provincial government is about to raise taxes on vape products and impose a new tax on electric vehicles.

The bigger problem the province faces is it has shown itself incapable of cutting its spending.

Edmonton city council voted last month to raise rates by 6.1 per cent this year and 6.8 per cent next year .

The federal government's carbon tax will cost the average family $ 477 more this year than they gain back in government refunds.
