Many crying in their beer as alcohol taxes set to jump on April 1 — Toronto Sun
It’s not an April Fool’s joke: The Trudeau government is intent on hiking the booze tax next week, despite calls to do away with the increase. The planned hike in the alcohol excise duty is the biggest in over four decades, a 6.3% jump, effective April 1. That’s on top of prior jumps that have...
The tax hike has drawn fire from the beer and hospitality industries and others. A majority of MPs recently voted for a “non-binding motion” which calls on the “government to cancel its April 1, 2023 tax increase on beer, wine and spirits.”
The motion, sponsored by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, passed 170-149. Jagmeet, is this the straw that breaks the camel’s back? Apparently not….
No vote on rolling back MP’s April 1st raise , I see .That’s on top of prior jumps that have been happening since an alcohol escalator tax was passed in the 2017 federal budget. It increases the excise taxes on alcohol by the rate of inflation annually, which means pain is coming thanks to spiking consumer costs.

Why, this is an OUTRAGE!

EDITORIAL: Our double whammy cost for green energy — Toronto Sun
Having already committed over $120 billion of taxpayers’ money to climate change and environmental programs, Tuesday’s federal budget by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is poised to plunge Canada into a bidding war with the U.S. for so-called clean energy technology. It’s going to be an unfair...
The latest “twitch and grunt” is U.S. President Joe Biden’s bizarrely named Inflation Reduction Act; passed last year, it commits almost US $400 billion ($547 billion Canadian) in tax credits to private corporations and consumers to lower their greenhouse gas emissions.
Given that, it was inevitable the Trudeau government would respond, as it will in Tuesday’s budget, with a Canadian program of tax incentives.
Aside from the obvious differences in the size of our two economies when it comes to competing in doling out tax credits, which all Canadians ultimately pay for, we also face an added expense Americans don’t — a national carbon price.
Trudeau’s carbon price — rising by 30% on April 1 to $65 per tonne of emissions from $50 per tonne, on its way to $170 per tonne in 2030 — has no equivalent in the U.S. and it raises the price of almost all goods and services because almost all use fossil fuel energy, etc… the rest of the above link.
I hope you’re talking about beer and not about Papa Trudeau’s ‘Twitch & Grunt’….

The silver lining in this it is based on the official inflation rate, not the real one,which is at least double the official rate

Well, as a a marker of fact they do. In a round about way. There is fuel tax and carbon scam tax on the fuel used to deliver raw materials to the factories, and again on the fuel used to get said products to the store. Then there is payroll tax on every single person involved from the first raw material extracted, all the way up the chain to the kid that bagged the groceries. Lefty’s are so mathematically challenged.
