‘Taxed into poverty’
Dear Editor:
An open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
As a senior citizen I am asking you to stop the second carbon tax.
We are being taxed into poverty. The cost of living has gone up by so much that the money that comes into our house each month feels like much less than it did a year ago because it does not go as far as it used to.
Food, gas, clothing, heating and home repairs have almost doubled in the last couple of years. How are people on a fixed income supposed to cope with this? Even people with a good income are having trouble.
As prime minister of our country you can do something about this. Another carbon tax will be just another straw to break the camel’s back.
Please act in a trustworthy way for the people of your country.
Juanita Pero,
Fergus
