Hi John,
A great supporter named Stew noticed a mistake in this email. (A few others also noticed after Stew flagged it).
The petition is supposed to be about opposing the hidden carbon tax on business. But the text on the handy petition form referred to reversing the capital gains tax hike. Sorry about that.
Here’s the good news: The links all worked so if you clicked to sign the petition, you’re in the fight against the hidden carbon tax on business.
Thanks to STEW and other supporters for being so quick to let us know.
The email below is correct.
Thank you to all of you who caught this mistake and let us know!
Sincerely,
Ethan Fisher
CTF Comms Coordinator
Hi John,
GOOD NEWS: Canadians don’t believe Mark Carney’s claim that a hidden carbon on business won’t cost them personally.
Hundreds of CTF supporters like you pitched in for a national poll asking Canadians who they think ultimately pays the cost of industrial carbon taxes and here are the results:
- 44 per cent say most of the cost is passed on to consumers
- 26 per cent say some of the cost is passed on to consumers
- 9 per cent say businesses pay most of the cost
- 21 per cent don’t know
And the media jumped on the poll.
“Carbon taxes on businesses still make life more expensive, Canadians say,” was the headline that ran in the Toronto Sun.
The poll happened because hundreds of taxpayers took action after signing the petition to stop the hidden carbon tax on business.
This is YOUR chance to join the fight and sign the PETITION to stop hidden carbon taxes on business.
Will you sign the PETITION to fight the hidden carbon tax on business?

Thank you for fighting for taxpayers – you’re making a difference!
All the best,
Carson BindaP.S.: Supporters like YOU told the Canadian Taxpayers Federation to fight the carbon tax from the start and Franco Terrazzano, our federal director, wrote a book about it called Axing the Tax: The Rise and Fall of Canada’s Carbon Tax.
