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.
