Show Notes

Canadians are paying about 55 cents per litre of gas every time we fuel up. That means you’re
paying about $35 in taxes when fueling up a big sedan. And that big tax bill is only getting

Taxpayer funded media and government censorship

“How are these people supposed to hold the government accountable when the government is
signing their paycheque?” Ryan Thorpe, CTF’s Investigative Journalist, said. “Journalists should
not only avoid real conflicts of interest, they should also avoid even the perception of one.”
Taxpayers are forced to pay more than $1 billion every year to fund the CBC. The feds also
bailed out the corporate press to the tune of $595 million. More bad news: the feds are pushing
through laws that could limit your ability to hold the government accountable online.
