OTTAWA, ON: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the federal government to join other countries in cutting taxes to help taxpayers deal with a rising cost of living.
"Canadians are fueling up at the pumps and then worrying about whether they have enough left over for ground beef at the grocery store," said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF. "Inflation is a key economic issue facing Canadian families and our politicians need to wake up and provide some relief."
Prices increased by 4.8 per cent year over year, according to inflation data released by Statistics Canada today.
