The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is gave a failing grade to the Alberta NDP’s plan to hike taxes.

“This NDP plan would hike taxes on job creators and that’s a reckless thing to do in a province that’s booming and hiring thousands of people,” said Kris Sims, Alberta director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

“People are flocking here in record numbers to work hard and pay lower taxes, this huge NDP tax hike would be a scarecrow for entrepreneurs.”

On Tuesday, the Alberta NDP announced it would hike the province’s general business tax rate from 8% up to 11%
