Carbon Tax
​
I am writing to express my strong opposition to implementing the Carbon Tax in Canada. As a concerned Canadian citizen, the Carbon Tax poses significant risks to Canadian households and businesses, and I urge the government to reconsider its stance on this matter.
While I recognize the importance of addressing climate change and reducing carbon emissions, The Carbon Tax is not the most effective or equitable solution. Here are some of the reasons why I am against the Carbon Tax:
1. Burden on Canadian Families: The Carbon Tax disproportionately affects low and middle-income families struggling to make ends meet. It increases the cost of essential goods and services, such as heating, transportation, and groceries, placing an unfair financial burden on those who can least afford it.
2. Impact on Small Businesses: Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and the Carbon Tax places an undue burden on them. Many small businesses operate on thin profit margins, and the additional costs imposed by the Carbon Tax could force them to cut jobs, reduce investment, or even close their doors altogether.
3. Competitiveness Concerns: The Carbon Tax puts Canadian businesses at a competitive disadvantage compared to foreign competitors operating in countries without similar carbon pricing mechanisms. This could lead to job losses and outsourcing of production to countries with less stringent environmental regulations, ultimately undermining Canada's economic competitiveness.
4. Lack of Transparency: There is a lack of transparency regarding how revenues generated from the Carbon Tax are being used. Canadians deserve clarity on how their hard-earned money is being spent and whether it is being used to fund meaningful environmental initiatives.
In conclusion, I strongly urge the Canadian government to reconsider its support for the Carbon Tax and explore alternative approaches to addressing climate change that do not burden Canadian families and businesses. We must work towards a more sustainable future while ensuring the well-being and prosperity of all Canadians.
Thank you for considering my concerns on this important issue.

URGENT!!!
The Liberal Party has launched a GST holiday campaign.
Please don't be fooled!
Currently, the Liberal government cannot conduct business in the House of Commons as they will not provide unredacted documents to the RCMP which is required since the Speaker ruled that they defied the authority of Parliament.

​
For this GST Holiday to get approved in parliament this means that the Conservatives, the Bloc and the NDP parties have allowed the Speaker's motion to fall.
Call to Action:
Write to all Conservative and Bloc Québécois Members of Parliament:
Encourage them to continue not allowing Parliament to proceed until the STDC documents have been submitted to the RCMP unredacted.
Write to the Liberal Members of Parliament:
Remind them that they can not pass their GST holiday as advertised due to not handing over unredacted documents to the RCMP. If they truly want to offer a benefit to Canadians by offering a small return of taxpayer funds, they should honour their commitment to being a transparent government and submit the required STDC documents.
Write to the NDP Members of Parliament:
Request that they stand with Canadians who want the Liberal party to hand over the STDC documents to the RCMP. Any agreements with the Liberal party that would deny transparency and due diligence being achieved makes the NDP party complicit in the further coverup of potentially unethical and illegal government spending.
Some other viewpoints on the 2024 Budget:
To assist you on what you may want to say, here is sample text that can be copied and pasted into your own email:
As a Canadian citizen who pays taxes, I oppose the 2024 Budget.
The budget is leading our country in the wrong direction with its significant increase in spending, which has already resulted in unprecedented inflation and debt that will take generations to pay off. To rectify the situation, the budget must include reductions to all unnecessary spending, such as the 15% global tax payment to the World Economic Forum, which no Canadian pays taxes for to support unelected organizations. Millions of Canadians are relying on the Food Bank. They are suffering severely due to the increased cost of every necessity due to the Carbon Tax, national debt and complete fiscal mismanagement.
I am also opposed to the intentional overreach into municipalities within the housing programs announced in this budget. Each province knows what is needed within their communities for proper infrastructure growth, and your green agenda will not work in most communities. As successful alternative energy sources that are as clean and trustworthy as natural gas have yet to be created, all taxes and regulations against using our natural resources are punitive and offer no solutions. As the Liberal party was elected to serve Canadians and what is best for Canada,
I request that you allow for an election based on this budget to be called and let Canadians decide on the future of Canada's growth and success.
