The CTF has won intervener status before the Supreme Court of Canada to fight the Trudeau carbon tax

------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Supporter,

It is now official: the CTF has won intervener status to appear before the Supreme Court of Canada to fight the Trudeau carbon tax!

We need your help to make this huge opportunity count.

It’s a very good thing we got in. There are 21 groups intervening, including radical environmental and union groups who support the Trudeau carbon tax like the David Suzuki Foundation, Environmental Defence, Canadian Labour Congress and National Farmers Union. But the CTF is the only non-government entity opposing the tax!

We’ve known for a long time that no matter the outcomes in the lower courts, the legal fight was eventually going to make its way to the Supreme Court.

The court challenges in Saskatchewan and Ontario were both split decisions confirming that there are strong legal arguments against the Trudeau carbon tax.

In Ontario, one dissenting justice made clear that he thought the Trudeau carbon tax was an unconstitutional invasion of provincial powers, wondering whether it could open the door to Ottawa interfering in other inappropriate ways.

In Saskatchewan, the two dissenting justices even called the Trudeau carbon tax “constitutionally repugnant.”

All of which makes clear that the outcome at the Supreme Court will be a hard fought battle – one where we have a real chance of victory.

But we’re up against more than a dozen other union and environmental groups with deep pockets. So we need your help.

Fighting the Trudeau carbon tax at the Supreme Court won’t be cheap. We’ve budgeted $80,000 for our legal bills. We need 1,600 supporters to chip in $50 each. If you’re able to help, please donate now on our secure website by clicking this link: [link removed] ([link removed])

Together, we will can ensure taxpayers’ voices are heard at the highest court in the land as we oppose Trudeau’s carbon tax grab.

Thank you as always for your ongoing support!

- Todd, Aaron, Shannon and all of the CTF staff
