LETTER: NDP leader leaves a legacy of higher taxes

I agree that we need a viable opposition, but the NDP is not it.  
Premier Rachel Notley met with the media Dec. 14 to speak about her government’s accomplishments in 2016.
Rachel Notley was Alberta's first NDP premier.

Dear Editor, 

Re: NDP leader leaving quite the legacy, Jan. 24 

I am writing in response to the effusive editorial eulogizing Rachel Notley’s time as leader of the NDP. The four-year interregnum of NDP rule in Alberta was characterized by higher income taxes (which we are still paying), higher corporate taxes (which thankfully have been rescinded) and a carbon tax (never mentioned in her campaign). 

I agree that we need a viable opposition, but the NDP is not it.
