Federal Director of @taxpayerDOTcom. Prosperity. Lower taxes. Cold beer.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has a message for the government: NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. We're taking the CRA to court to stop unelected bureaucrats from enforcing the undemocratic and illegal capital gains tax hike.

The government is bad at stuff. More government bureaucracy is not the solution. Too much government bureaucracy is the problem.

This is crazy but maybe the government should stop giving taxpayers’ money to multinational corporations.

Saskatchewan's debt load is unsustainable. The government has doubled the debt since 2017. Each Saskatchewanian's share of debt interest costs is about $695. Taxpayers can't afford any more debt!

BREAKING 🚨 TransLink must reject NDP pressure to bring HandyDART services in-house. It would cost taxpayers an additional $70 million for “no customer benefit.” That’s a bad plan for folks who use the service and it’s a bad plan for taxpayers.

The government budgeted between $4 million and $8 million for a skating rink on the governor general's estate. Where are the spending cuts? All I see is more wasteful spending.
.@GGCanada budgets millions for skating pavilion @RideauHall with artificial ice & canopy to "protect it from climate change." Staff did not disclose final cost. https://t.co/ICLvYrMjtg

Instead of helping homeless, the government spent $97,000 sending 47 bureaucrats to a two-day conference on homelessness in Montreal. "Managers had greater interest in a free trip to Québec, said the memo."
ACCESS TO INFORMATION: Housing Minister @gregorrobertson’s department @HICC_ca spent $97,000 sending managers on 2-day homelessness conference for “inspiration.” Charges included $33,600 for hotels and $8,857 for restaurant meals. https://t.co/GHdSdz2Ub0

Ontario's government debt has nearly tripled over the past 20 years because of chronic overspending. Now we're paying $16.2 billion in debt interest costs. 75% of Ontarians say they are concerned about their debt interest costs. Now it's time for Premier Ford to cut spending.

Voluntary? It’s not voluntary if ‘no’ makes you a criminal. The Liberals are trying to rebrand coercion as participation. After the amnesty, non-compliance becomes a Criminal Code offence punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Calling that ‘voluntary’ is absurd.
