Talk Truth 10.07.26 - Franco Terrazzano | Canadians were told the consumer carbon tax was gone, but Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano says another carbon tax is still hitting businesses — and ultimately consumers. Terrazzano breaks down the industrial carbon tax, why he argues it raises costs throughout the supply chain and what it means for Canadian jobs and competitiveness. He also digs into Ottawa’s spending and debt, the more than $1 billion he says taxpayers are spending every week on federal debt interest, proposed new CRA fines and why Canadians keep watching the purchasing power of their money shrink.
