News:
ST. CATHARINES – Ontario PC Leader and Niagara West-Glanbrook MPP, Tim Hudak, visited the Canadian Tire in St. Catharines today to call on Dalton McGuinty to scrap his so-called ‘eco tax’. Hudak committed that, if the McGuinty Liberals fail to eliminate their latest tax grab on Niagara consumers, then a future Ontario PC Government will.
On July 1st, the McGuinty Government was caught trying to sneak in this latest tax in the shadow of their HST tax grab. The funds are collected and levied by a secretive McGuinty Government agency and are subsequently spent without any meaningful transparency or accountability as to whether the money actually succeeds in reducing waste or helping the environment.
The McGuinty Liberals have tried to disguise their latest tax grab as an environmental measure by labelling it an ‘eco’ tax. It is the latest in a growing pattern of Dalton McGuinty using the environment as an excuse for increasing the tax burden on Niagara families.
