and thank you for what you do!
Bob Spiers, city of Vernon Councillor is at it again.
And we should all be grateful for his efforts.
Efforts...plural.
Because he's done it before.
The present Tax on a Tax petition already has 444 signatures from British Columbia alone (we in British Columbia have had the dubious pleasure of paying carbon taxes since 2008 when Premier Clark enacted the law.)
Canadians appear to have forgotten that they have something called "choice" |
Rather than steal Bob's thunder, we'll send you to Bob's blog to click on the petition link and add your name. And please send the story/link to ALL your email contacts in Canada!
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
The Government of British Columbia instituted a carbon tax in 2008 and the federal government GST (currently at 5%) is still being charged on this carbon tax.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to eliminate the GST being charged on this or any other future carbon tax enacted by the provinces or territories.
"Once government gets a taste of a new tax," Kia would've mused "its appetite isn't easily sent back to the diet table."
Remember to send the petition link (from Bob's blog, provided above) to all your Canadian email contacts.
Do it now.
Not sure why you're signing?
Well, in case you've spent the last number of years under a rock...click for explanations:
What is carbon tax?
By the way, carbon tax failed in Australia. Maybe we can hope for the same here in Canada...eventually.
What is GST?
Then...crawl out from under the rock.
