Dear John,
If you enjoy a cold beer or a glass of wine, you may want to stock up this week.
That’s because on April 1, the Trudeau government’s ”escalator tax” on beer, wine and spirits is going up again.
This tax is bad news for a lot of reasons.
First, it raises taxes that are already sky high: even before these new hikes, nearly half the final price of beer, 65-70 per cent of the price of wine and 80 per cent of the price of spirits is tax!
Second, instead of having to come back every year and take the heat for new tax hikes, this escalator just raises taxes automatically. Every year. Forever.
Finally, it’s a dangerous precedent for other taxes. If the government can get away with an escalator tax for alcohol, there’s no telling what it will try next. Gasoline? Sales taxes? Income taxes?
Through our campaign website www.NoEscalatorTax.ca, you can send a message to Justin Trudeau, Erin O’Toole and Jagmeet Singh, as well as your own MP to tell them to repeal the escalator tax.
We know the kind of impact Canadians can have when they raise their voices together.
Join us to help bring about the end of this harmful tax.
Thanks for all you do.
- Todd, Aaron, Shannon and the entire CTF team
