Three cheers for Poilievre’s alcohol tax cut

By Franco Terrazzano
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation applauds Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre’s commitment to end and reverse the alcohol escalator tax.
“Poilievre just promised major alcohol tax cuts and taxpayers will cheers to that,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Poilievre’s tax cut will save Canadians money every time they have a cold one with a buddy or enjoy a glass of Pinot with their better half and it will give Canadians brewers, distillers and wineries a fighting chance against tariffs.”
Today, federal alcohol taxes increased by two per cent, costing taxpayers about $40 million this year, according to Beer Canada.
Poilievre announced a Conservative government “will axe the escalator tax on wine, beer and spirits back to 2017 levels, ending the automatic annual tax increases.”
The alcohol escalator tax has automatically increased excise taxes on beer, wine and spirits every year, without a vote in Parliament, since 2017. The alcohol escalator tax has cost taxpayers more than $900 million since being imposed, according to Beer Canada.
Taxes from multiple levels of government account for about half of the price of alcohol.
Meanwhile, tariffs are hitting the industry hard. Brewers have described the tariffs as “Armageddon for craft brewing.”
“Automatic tax hikes are undemocratic, uncompetitive and unaffordable and they need to stop,” Terrazzano said. “If politicians think Canadians aren’t paying enough tax, they should at least have the spine to vote on the tax increase.
“Poilievre is right to end the escalator tax and all party leaders should commit to making life more affordable for Canadian consumers and businesses by ending the undemocratic alcohol tax hikes.”

Conservatives promise to ban firing of Canadian federal workers based on COVID jab status

From LifeSiteNews
The Conservative platform also vows that the party will oppose mandatory digital ID systems and a central bank digital currency if elected.
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party’s 2025 election platform includes a promise to “ban” the firing of any federal worker based “solely” on whether or not they chose to get the COVID shots.
On page 23 of the “Canada First – For A Change” plan, which was released on Tuesday, the promise to protect un-jabbed federal workers is mentioned under “Protect Personal Autonomy, Privacy, and Data Security.”
It promises that a Conservative government will “Ban the dismissal of federal workers based solely on COVID vaccine status.”
The Conservative Party also promises to “Oppose any move toward mandatory digital ID systems” as well as “Prohibit the Bank of Canada from developing or implementing a central bank digital currency.”
In October 2021, the Liberal government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector. The government also announced that the unjabbed would no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.
This policy resulted in thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance. It also trapped “unvaccinated” Canadians in the country.
COVID jab mandates, which also came from provincial governments with the support of the federal government, split Canadian society. The shots have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects, such as death, including in children.
Many recent rulings have gone in favor of those who chose not to get the shots and were fired as a result, such as an arbitrator ruling that one of the nation’s leading hospitals in Ontario must compensate 82 healthcare workers terminated after refusing to get the jabs.
Beyond health concerns, many Canadians, especially Catholics, opposed the injections on moral grounds because of their link to fetal cell lines derived from the tissue of aborted babies.

Former WEF insider accuses Mark Carney of using fear tactics to usher globalism into Canada

From LifeSiteNews
Former WEF member Desiree Fixler is warning Canadians that Mark Carney is using fear to manipulate citizens to gain power and that his ideas will destroy the economy.
World Economic Forum banker turned whistleblower Desiree Fixler is warning that Mark Carney is using fear tactics to gain control over Canada and usher in globalism.
In an April 12 interview with Canadian YouTuber Jasmin Laine, Fixler – who served as a member of the WEF’s Global Future Council on Responsible Investing – warned that Carney seeks to send Canada down a path of totalitarianism and economic decline.
‘Fear wins votes’
In the interview, Fixler said that Carney’s tactic involves amplifying or fear-mongering manufactured crises, like the claim that “there is a climate catastrophe,” not because he wants to safeguard citizens, but because he wants to “win some votes” and expand his globalist vision.
Similarly, she argued that Carney uses potentially real crises, like the Canada-U.S. trade war, to explain the economic decline in Canada. This shift the blame from the Liberal policies of the past ten years to U.S. President Donald Trump and allows Carney to not just avoid responsibility for policies he supported being destructive, but also to position himself as the solution to the problem.
“The government has a lot of control in the media and so a message is being put out that there is this climate catastrophe and then lo and behold Mark Carney is there to say… ‘I can save everything,’” Fixler warned.
Carney is not working for Canadians
Since his appearance on the political stage, many have pointed out that Carney’s extensive work for the UN and WEF have made him more of a global player than an advocate for Canada, particularly regarding his advocacy for net-zero emissions.
At the same time, Carney argues that his globalist portfolio will benefit Canadians. Fixler, however, warned that Carney’s radical climate policies will send Canada down the same declining path as other European countries.
“You just look at the U.K., you just look at Germany, and you can see in particular Germany is likely going on its third year of a shrinking economy largely because of net zero,” Fixler explained, referring to the globalist policy of pursuing “net zero” carbon emissions.
Despite Canada’s vast natural resources, Carney has made it clear that, if elected, he will maintain the goal of eventually reaching “net zero.” Fixler also noted that Carney spearheads the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) which effectively “bullies the world into adopting net zero.”
While Carney has claimed that Canada will become an energy “powerhouse” thanks to a transition to clean energy, Fixler warned that “there is no way you’re going to do that if you have net zero.”
“If you’re aligned to net zero, if you have a ban on further fossil fuel drilling right, and further pipelines, there is no way,” Fixler said. “You’re going down one path, and that’s the path of unaffordable energy and that is a path of a shrinking economy.”
Fixler further argued that Carney is not only misleading Canadians but deliberately lying about the effects of a net-zero emissions scheme. She questioned how Canada’s economy could grow when the Liberals’ Bill C-69 is restricting the production of pipelines to carry Canadian oil and gas.
“These are national assets,” she said. “The people of Canada own it, and the people of Canada should decide whether or not they want access to affordable energy, and they want to grow their economy.”
Fixler referred to Carney’s scheme as “authoritarian government theft,” warning it will send Canada down the same economic decline as Europe.
“Europe and the UK is definitely moving in the wrong direction, and I firmly believe that Mark Carney will do the same for Canada,” she emphasized. “Not only will he further economic policies that shrink the economy, but he will move again to silence dissent and increase censorship.”
Fixler, who was herself a member of the WEF, revealed that globalists are indifferent to how their policies affect the common person.
As evidence for this, Fixler recalled a situation in which she brought up the increasing cost of living at a WEF meeting, which resulted in “someone firing right back at me and saying like, ‘Desiree, why do you care? You can afford that.’”
Fixler said that for Canada to stave off Carney’s vision, citizens just need to “revert back to common sense” and call out what is “dumb.”
