The rising cost of living isn’t an act of God or nature. Politicians are making it worse every day. You can find politicians who are making life more affordable for taxpayers. But those politicians don’t live in Ottawa.
Ottawa is raising gas taxes, payroll taxes and even alcohol taxes. Meanwhile, 51 other national governments are providing relief, according to a Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) report. That includes more than half of the G7 and G20 countries. Two-thirds of the countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development are also cutting taxes.
