Taxpayers group says federal carbon tax weighs heavy on Canadians
“Stop hammering struggling Saskatchewan families and workers,” said Robin Speer, Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s prairie director.“Join with other world leaders and reduce the painful tax increases at the pump,” said Speer.
Michelle Scheller is a licensed insolvency trustee who believes the tax only creates added pressure on people already struggling to make their payments.“Saskatchewan and Manitoba residences are suffering more than other provinces,” said Scheller. “I don’t know specifically the reason but that is the reality.”According to Scheller, three in ten people in Saskatchewan are having to cut back on essentials like food in order to pay their bills.
