Dear John,
We’ve been pushing a clear message to politicians: political parties should not be taking wage subsidies intended to help Canadians struggling with the pandemic shutdown.
But as of today, four of the five federal political parties are taking the subsidy (the Bloc is the only party turning it down).
It’s unacceptable. The overwhelming majority of provincial political parties are turning down the money, but federal parties are snout deep in the trough.
Conservative Party leadership candidates have come out against parties taking the subsidy and yet even that party hasn’t committed to giving back the money.
This fight isn’t over: We need you to send a message directly to the party leaders.
The politicians need to hear directly from Canadians. Please take a minute to send an email telling them to do the right thing and pay back this subsidy! Here are their email addresses:
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau: [email protected]
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer: [email protected]
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh: [email protected]
Green Leader Elizabeth May: [email protected]
Thanks for everything you do,
- Todd, Aaron, Shannon and the entire CTF team
PS: For the record, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation does not take money from any government or political party. And we are not applying for any government subsidy to help us through this pandemic and economic recession. We rely on the voluntary support of Canadians who believe their politicians need a watchdog to keep them honest.
