It doesn’t matter what politicians label their carbon taxes, all carbon taxes make life more expensive and don’t work.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s hidden carbon tax on business is the worst of all worlds: Higher prices and fewer Canadian jobs.

“It means more than a six times increase in the industrial price on carbon,” Carney said after signing the memorandum of understanding with the Alberta government. 

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation will keep fighting to scrap ALL carbon taxes!

BUSTED! 

You wont guess which politician wasted $190,000 on three soccer balls made of wood. 

Plus, you already know that Ottawa is racking up huge charges on the taxpayer credit card. Some provincial governments are following that bad example. 

Alberta just got a big “maybe” from Ottawa, but what’s the real price tag? In this episode of The Fighter, Kris Sims breaks down the new Ottawa–Alberta energy memorandum: promises of lifting the emissions cap, easing the tanker ban, and opening the door to new pipelines, but also the risk of much higher industrial carbon costs.

Economist Dr. Jack Mintz explains how these carbon measures could raise production costs, hit taxpayers, and affect jobs and investment in Alberta.

Kris also covers a major First Nations transparency victory. Frog Lake First Nation member Hans McCarthy, supported by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, won a court case forcing Ottawa to release long-hidden financial records from a $100-million trust. CTF’s Devin Drover and Gage Haubrich explain why this ruling matters for Indigenous communities across Canada seeking real accountability.

The first budget under Prime Minister Mark Carney has officially passed — so what comes next?

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation hosted a huge rally to protest against Carney’s gun ban and confiscation in Cape Breton.

Cape Breton sent a huge message to Ottawa: We won’t be guinea pigs for the government’s gun confiscation test trial!

Carney’s gun ban and confiscation is a huge taxpayer boondoggle and it won’t make Canada safer.

Carney’s gun ban and confiscation scheme is a huge taxpayer boondoggle. It targets law-abiding Canadians’ private property. And it won’t make Canada safe.

Clayton Campbell, the President of the Toronto Police Association, joins the show to explain why the gun confiscation scheme won’t improve public safety.

Plus, we have CTF’s Kris Sims on the show to breakdown the major taxpayer news you don’t want to miss!

If Trump wants to hammer Americans with new taxes, it doesn’t mean Carney should hammer Canadians with new taxes.

Retaliatory tariffs are taxes on Canadian consumers and business that will make your life more expensive.

The Carney government’s retaliatory tariffs could cost Canadian families hundreds of dollars this year in new taxes.

We had the Montreal Economic Institute’s Vice President of Communications Renaud Brossard on the Taxpayer Podcast to make the case for free trade.

A family’s biggest cost is NOT food, clothes or housing. A family’s biggest cost is taxes.

The average Canadian family is paying 42 per cent of its budget in taxes to all levels of government. That means Canadian families are spending more on taxes than what they’re spending on food, housing and clothing COMBINED.

Plus, we break down what might be the craziest boondoggle yet: The federal ban on the sale of new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035. You have every reason to worry your tax and power bills will increase to pay for all the subsidies, charging stations, power plants and transmission lines required for the government’s ban.
