Tax Talk with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

CTF Prairie Director Todd MacKay joined Paige MacPherson & Jordan Bateman to talk about Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall's continuing fight against Justin Trudeau's national carbon tax - and how Manitoba's Brian Pallister is ducking for cover. 

CTF Atlantic Director Kevin Lacey joins Paige MacPherson and Jordan Bateman to talk about Nova Scotia and Newfoundland's opposition to the Trudeau carbon tax.

Aaron Gunn and Renaud Brossard of the Generation Screwed campus club network join Paige and Jordan to talk about the debt clock being kicked out of Laval University and the rest of their tour. Plus we talk a little US politics...

Could the Trudeau honeymoon be over? The Liberal government lurched from blunder to blunder this week and, of course, it's the taxpayers who suffered. CTF federal director Aaron Wudrick joined Paige and Jordan to recap the week and look at the Liberals' fall legislative agenda. Plus we talked debt clock, natural gas bans, carbon tax, and our Waste of the Week!

Christine Van Geyn joins Paige and Jordan to talk about the latest lunacy in Ontario - skyrocketing hydro rates and the premier launching a petition to, er, herself.  Plus we talk Trump hats at Alberta universities, StopTheCarbonTax.ca, Vancouver's goofy vacant homes tax, and our waste of the week.

RED ALERT B.C. (especially Greater Victoria) taxpayers! Todd Stone and the BC Government seem ready to cave into your city councillors' demands for a two cent per litre gas tax hike for BC Transit. This despite a recent audit showing millions of dollars in waste at BC Transit! Take action now! Tell Todd Stone to reject the gas tax hike in the Capital Regional District. Email him NOW at [email protected]. And share this video making the case AGAINST the gas tax hike!

If you ever buy gas on southern Vancouver Island, this tax will affect you! You can also sign our petition against the tax at http://www.taxpayer.com/victoriagas

CFIB's Amber Ruddy and CTF's Paige MacPherson are busy fighting the push for more property taxes in Alberta - we check in with them to see how the See Charter Think Tax campaign is going.

Jordan Bateman finishes up our 7-podcast series on housing taxes in Vancouver by looking at some of the taxes/regulatory costs we DIDN'T include in our 37% housing tax rate calculation. The impact of the Agricultural Land Reserve and other hidden taxes.

Jordan Bateman looks at the taxes and red tape that slow housing construction - with a special look at the stories told on the BuildingInVancouver.com website.

The politicians' solution to everything seems to be "tax it more." But today's luxury taxes have a nasty way of becoming tomorrow's everyone taxes. Take the Property Transfer Tax, for example. Jordan Bateman has more.
