HALIFAX, NS: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is warning Canadians about a new report from the University of Waterloo released by a coalition organizations proposing a new tax on pop, saying it would be costly to Canadian families and useless since it would do nothing to make them healthier.
“Pop tax advocates seem to think that we can solve all our problems by simply raising taxes. It’s time for the Trudeau government to tell them they won’t create kooky new taxes like one on our pop,” said Kevin Lacey, Atlantic Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
The CTF says there are four reasons pop taxes won’t work in Canada.
