TORONTO, ON: It’s not an April Fools' joke: politicians are raising their own salaries at the same time they’re hiking carbon taxes and alcohol taxes.
“The joke is on taxpayers and it isn’t funny as our members of Parliament pocket a pay raise while emptying our wallets with higher carbon and booze taxes,” said Franco Terrazzano, Federal Director of the CTF. “Canadians are struggling with higher prices on everything and the least our MPs could do is cancel the cruel April Fools’ Day joke and end the tax hikes.”
