    #166 Department of government efficiency in Canada?

    You pay too much tax because the government wastes too much money. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump announced the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency, with a mandate to “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies.” In this week’s Canadian Taxpayers Podcast, we break down how Ottawa should dismantle the bloated bureaucracy and cut wasteful spending to make government more efficient in Canada. #DOGE #Departmentofgovernmentefficiency Support our mission: https://www.taxpayer.com/support-the-podcast

    #165 Taxpayers fight pension grab in Parliament

    The CTF was in Parliament pushing back against the government delaying the next election to give dozens of extra politicians a pension they don’t deserve. Delaying the election by one week would give up to 80 additional MPs a taxpayer-funded pension. Those pensions would cost taxpayers up to $120 million. CTF Federal Director Franco Terrazzano was in a parliamentary committee pushing politicians to oppose delaying the next election to give millions in pensions to extra politicians.

    #163 CBC keeps you in the dark over CEO bonuses

    The CBC doesn’t mind taking your money. It just doesn’t want you to know how it spends your money. CBC’s CEO refuses to tell you if she will take a bonus or severance pay out when she leaves the state broadcaster in the new year. She thinks taking a taxpayer-funded bonus or severance is a “personal matter.” But you pay their bills. You deserve to how much their bonuses cost you. Plus, the number of federal government executives has increased by 42 per cent under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. All that and more in this week’s Canadian Taxpayer Podcast.

    #162 Trudeau’s carbon tax and deficits soak taxpayers

    The carbon tax is costing average families hundreds of dollars more than what their getting back in rebates. That’s according to the government’s own independent budget watchdog. Plus, the feds are already $6 billion over budget with the deficit. In fact, the government will spend more money on debt interest charges than it sends to the provinces in health care transfers.
