OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s Federal Director Franco Terrazzano is releasing his new book tomorrow, Axing the Tax: The Rise and Fall of Canada’s Carbon Tax.

“The fight against the carbon tax is not over and this book shows why carbon taxes have always been a bad deal for Canadians,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Carbon tax activists will try to claim the Trudeau government bungled the policy or didn’t communicate it well, but this book shows that the carbon tax is a bad policy because it makes life more expensive and doesn’t work.” 

Axing the Tax: The Rise and Fall of Canada’s Carbon Tax is being released by Sutherland House on April 10. 

Axing the Tax describes the initial promise of the carbon tax and explains the fatal flaws that destined it to fail. Written by Canada’s most consistent critic of the tax, the book is the inside story of the fight to scrap it. And it chronicles the real-life consequences of the carbon tax experiment to show why it was such a bad deal for people and businesses forced to pay the bill.

Axing the Tax is “a well told story of how Canadians were sold a high risk tax that could never do what was promised,” said former Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has been the most consistent advocacy organization fighting the carbon tax in the court of public opinion and the court of law for nearly two decades. 

“The carbon tax makes life more expensive, but it’s not an environmental solution and politicians were never honest with Canadians about the costs,” Terrazzano said. “Axing the Tax also warns Canadians about what to look out for as politicians try to relabel, repackage and hide carbon taxes.”
