I fight for taxpayers in courts and legislatures for @taxpayerDOTcom.

58% of Canadians with an opinion say government grocery stores are a bad idea.

It makes sense why. Government grocery stores won't make life more affordable. It'll just result in politicians hiking your taxes.

Politicians need to focus on tax cuts to make life more affordable.

BREAKING: MP Mike Dawson is going to court to stop the government from forcing him to take the politician pay raise.

Dawson was the only MP to publicly and forcefully opposed the April 1 politician pay raise.

Instead of wasting more tax dollars fighting Dawson in court, the government should do the simple thing and let MPs turn down a pay raise.

📣 NEW @TheTorontoSun

CBC has a bad habit of wasting taxpayers’ money & hiding it – but there’s a 0% chance it’ll be able hide this

CBC must release every contract, invoice, receipt & email associated with the “comedy” show that humiliated Mounties

NEW: Newfoundland has withdrawn its claim that the equalization formula violates s 36(2) of the Constitution, which commits Ottawa "in principle" to "equalization payments to ensure... reasonably comparable levels of public services at reasonably comparable levels of taxation"

[Devin Drover @DevinDrover]

BREAKING

A win for taxpayers in every part of the country.

The Newfoundland and Labrador government was asking the courts to force BIGGER equalization handouts onto the backs of taxpayers.

Walking away from that fight is the RIGHT call.

BREAKING NEWS:

Newfoundland and Labrador has discontinued its legal challenge for more equalization funds from Ottawa.

GREAT news for Canadian taxpayers.

[Devin Drover @DevinDrover]

EQUALIZATION COURT UPDATE!

Back in court tomorrow fighting against Newfoundland and Labrador's attempt to use Canada's Constitution to take more from taxpayers.

The CTF released its annual Finance Minister Report Card.

Saskatchewan Finance Minister Jim Reiter received the highest grade in the country.

But Reiter still has a lot of work to do to deliver for taxpayers.

He can’t get top marks until he stops racking up and debt burning more than a billion dollars a year on debt interest payments.

[Devin Drover @DevinDrover]

LASTLY: New Brunswick Finance Minister René Legacy with an overall grade of D-.

Legacy again delivered no meaningful tax cuts while loading up on more irresponsible government borrowing - despite his government's election promise to pay down debt.

TODAY: The CTF released its annual Finance Minister Report Card that ranks provincial finance ministers on spending, debt and tax relief in the latest provincial budgets.

Here's how the Atlantic Canadian finance ministers did:

[Devin Drover @DevinDrover]

NEXT: we have a tie for last place in Atlantic Canada.

First, PEI Finance Minister Jill Burridge shares a D- grade for MASSIVE spending increases and no tax relief for Islanders.

This is down from a C- grade last year.

Carney and entourage chew through $195,000 worth of airplane food during three international trips.

Carney spent more money on airplane food during three trips than the average family will spend on groceries in a decade.

They’re living the high life and sending you the bill.

The taxpayer bill for then-premier Andrew Furey’s Churchill Falls MOU announcement: $79,000.

That’s more than many Newfoundlanders and Labradorians make in a year.

Time to CUT the waste, including political photo ops paid for by taxpayers.

Why are taxpayers paying for this?

At the bare minimum, this is an insane waste of money

Defund the CBC

[Kris Sims @kris_sims]

👏 THANK YOU former premier Brad Wall 👏

It is very encouraging to see you and current Premier of Saskatchewan, Scott Moe,

CONTINUE to stand up for taxpayers and hardworking Western Canadians

We need ZERO CARBON TAXES here, thanks

@BradWall306 @PremierScottMoe

[Devin Drover @DevinDrover]

Smith: ‘$50 a tonne would be reasonable.’

Taxpayers: cool, so why are we getting $130 instead?

SCRAP ALL CARBON TAXES

[Kris Sims @kris_sims]

🙃So here we are

PM Carney says Industrial Carbon Tax is going to be "six & a half times" HIGHER than it is now

Premier Smith says she would prefer a Carbon Tax of $50 per tonne

It's going up to $130 per tonne

Bottom line: huge Carbon Tax hike

And a paper pipeline promise

[Devin Drover @DevinDrover]

Premier Susan Holt preached belt-tightening.

Then handed her own office a $91,000 raise.

New Brunswicker taxpayers deserve better.
