Albertans who apply for $100 payments from the province could see the money land in their bank accounts within two weeks of applying.
Premier Danielle Smith has said her government is doling out the affordability payments instead of reducing its tax on gasoline at the pumps.
Smith says cuts to gas taxes don’t always get passed on to consumers, so the payments are the best way to help Albertans with the high cost of living.

The U.S.-Iran military conflict sent fuel prices soaring, boosting Alberta’s energy royalties and triggering the province’s quarterly relief program.
Nearly 3.4 million Albertans — with a maximum household income of $225,000 or less — are eligible and can apply online starting July 1.
Finance Minister Jason Nixon’s office says the payments would take two weeks to arrive, as the government verifies application information and processes the transfers.

I really does not matter what the UCP does on this, the leftist whiners and haters will whine and hate.
I tend not to listen to them anymore. They have become like yappy little dogs.
D and Anonymous…..you’re not mandated to apply for it, but if either of you don’t want it…apply for it and give it to a vet or the food bank.
Pathetic on her part!
Wait… so we don’t just get it… we have to apply… so the government wants to make more work for a measly 100$… not even worth it at that point. This government is a joke with a bad punch line called Danielle smith.
