Show Notes

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.

All that and more in this episode of the Taxpayer Podcast.
