Dear John,

A new Fraser Institute study out today has some grim news for Canadian families.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and shutdowns driving down tax revenues collected by governments across Canada, the average Canadian family still spent over 36% of its income on taxes in 2020.

That's more than housing, food and clothing costs – combined.

In fact, since 1961, the average Canadian family’s total tax bill has increased nominally by 1,992%.

Read the shocking study here [[link removed]], and be sure to share this one on social media.

Stay safe,

Niels Veldhuis

President

STAY UP TO DATE
