Canadian Taxpayers Federation reacts to Trudeau carbon tax announcement

Author: 2018/10/23

OTTAWA, ON: Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) Federal Director Aaron Wudrick released the following statement in response to Prime Minister Trudeau’s carbon tax announcement this morning:

“Today’s announcement shows that the Prime Minister is choosing to ignore growing opposition to his ill-advised carbon tax. Trying to buy Canadians off by sending them cheques merely shows that he already knows how unpopular his new tax will be. Imposing a new tax is not how you save Canadians money.

Canadians understand that climate change is a global issue and that we should not be punishing ourselves with a new tax that will have no impact on global carbon emissions.”

The CTF has long opposed carbon taxes across Canada and will continue to be an aggressive voice for the growing number of Canadians opposed to carbon tax grabs. We invite them to sign the CTF’s petition opposing the federal government’s carbon tax which can be found here: https://www.taxpayer.com/resource-centre/petitions/petition?tpContentId=154
