×The Trudeau government is enforcing an undemocratic capital gains tax hike that was never approved by Parliament. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he'll reverse it. We break it all down in this week’s Canadian Taxpayers Podcast. Support our mission: https://www.taxpayer.com/support-the-podcast…
The carbon tax is on the edge of collapse. When will the government scrap the carbon tax? Will the Liberals beat Poilievre to the punch? Plus, who are the big names running to replace Trudeau and where do they stand on axing the tax? This episode was recorded on the afternoon of January 10, 2025 - before Christy Clark announced she was no longer pursuing the Liberal Party leadership.

This podcast was recorded on Friday, January 3rd, before the resignation of Justin Trudeau. Looking forward: what’s ahead for taxpayers? Will we scrap the carbon tax?

42:34The CTF was in Parliament pushing back against the government delaying the next election to give dozens of extra politicians a pension they don’t deserve. Delaying the election by one week would give up to 80 additional MPs a taxpayer-funded pension. Those pensions would cost taxpayers up to $120 million. CTF Federal Director Franco Terrazzano was in a parliamentary committee pushing politicians to oppose delaying the next election to give millions in pensions to extra politicians.
