Hi John,
 
You can light a fire under senators to cut carbon taxes for farmers and take some pressure off grocery prices.
 
Thousands of taxpayers are signing the petition to take the carbon tax off all farm fuels. You can sign the petition by clicking this link: https://www.taxpayer.com/petitions/take-carbon-taxes-off-all-farm-fuels
 
Farm fuels were always supposed be exempt from the carbon tax because Canadian farmers compete with producers from countries that don’t have carbon taxes. That’s why Ottawa exempted diesel and gasoline when it was set up. But the feds missed the natural gas and propane farmers use to dry grain and heat barns.
 
Elected MPs have passed legislation to fix this. In fact, the House of Commons passed it twice. It would help farmers and dial back the pressure on food prices for families. But unelected senators are stalling it.
 
You can turn up the heat on those senators by signing the petition: https://www.taxpayer.com/petitions/take-carbon-taxes-off-all-farm-fuels
 
It means a lot to see so many taxpayers stepping up. I took my son to my uncle’s farm to go hunting last weekend so it feels good to give back by working on this campaign. And this is a key step to scrap the carbon tax completely.
 
Thanks for taking a stand.
 
Todd

Hi John,

The Senate is continuing to stall carbon tax relief to farmers.

Bill C-234 would remove the carbon tax from natural gas and propane used on farms. Farmers use these fuels to dry grain and heat barns.

But now senators are using delay tactics to stop the bill from passing. That’s keeping farmers from saving on their bills and you from saving at the grocery store.

Farmers can’t afford to wait any longer so you need to kick this campaign into overdrive.

We are building an army of hardcore committed supporters that we can call on at a moment’s notice to push senators to get this bill gets passed.

Please sign the online PETITION to get farmers carbon tax relief: https://www.taxpayer.com/petitions/take-carbon-taxes-off-all-farm-fuels

This is an important fight. A bill like this has died in the Senate before. You can’t let unelected senators get away with that again.

If a senator so much as blinks in the wrong direction, I’ll update you with a plan to crank up the pressure. Stay tuned.

Sincerely,

Gage Haubrich
Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation

PS: It only takes a minute to sign the PETITION and help get farmers a break: https://www.taxpayer.com/petitions/take-carbon-taxes-off-all-farm-fuels
