The Petition

Whereas the Trudeau government plans to hike the hidden tax on beer, wine, and spirits by 4.7% on April 1, 2024 without any parliamentary scrutiny or a vote by MPs;

And whereas Oshawa residents are already suffering from the inflation and cost-of-living crisis created by Trudau's high-tax/high-spend agenda;

And whereas excise taxes already account for approximately 50% of the price of beer, 60% of the price of wine, and over 75% of the price of spirits;

And whereas, since implementing the hidden escalator in 2017, the Trudeau government has tied the tax to the rate of inflation and already increased this tax by nearly 19%;

And whereas automatic/hidden tax increases are unaccountable and unaffordable for our area's local craft producers, bars and restaurants;

We, the undersigned, call upon the government to cancel its planned tax hike on beer, wine, and spirits.
