The editor:

At the end of the last parliamentary session, the incompetent Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland scrambled to bring in her latest tax hike on capital gains to pay for her uncontrolled inflationary spending.

This legislation could still be defeated this coming fall, so I encourage all of my constituents to write, call and e-mail the finance minister and tell her that this tax is something that Canadians simply cannot afford.

The Liberals claim this is a tax on the ultra-rich. It’s not. It’s a tax on death, food, homebuilding, retirement, doctors, pharmacists, truckers and small business owners.

Only Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would tax farmers during a food affordability crisis, doctors during a physician shortage, and homebuilding during a housing crisis.

Canadians will be worse off because of Justin Trudeau’s new tax.

The Liberals forced a last-minute motion in Parliament to try and implement this new tax, but they will be forced to table legislation to enact the tax in the fall. There is still time to stop this tax.

Please contact the finance minister in whatever way possible and tell her you can’t afford this tax.
