City tax penalties questioned in Alberta dispute
City officials dispute a provincial ruling on 18 percent penalty caps for unpaid property taxes. Medicine Hat applies 3 percent penalties every two months on arrears, compounding to about 19.4 percent annually. Municipal Affairs says penalties must be calculated on the original arrears, not the accumulated balance. Local officials plan to review the issue and consider amending the bylaw.

Ontario shuns Alberta gas costs too high
Ontario consumers turn to U S suppliers after refusals on price breaks from TransCanada Western Gas Marketing and Alberta. A new 93 million dollar link under the St Clair River will connect Ontario to U S pipelines, boosting imports to 300 million cubic feet daily and possibly 500 million. Union Gas says the project will create competition and cut Alberta prices by up to 20 percent for many customers.
