URGENT - Last Push to Kill Annual Increases in Alcohol Taxes In a last push to get the federal government to amend its budget bill to repeal annual increases to alcohol excise taxes, we strongly urge you to visit https://corkthetax.ca/ to send a message directly to your Member of Parliament. We also ask that you engage your staff and employees in this endeavor. It is dead simple, all you have to do is: • Click on “contact your MP” A letter will be generated automatically to your MP and copied to the federal Minister of Finance. We also want to encourage you to spread the word on social media using #Corkthetax. This has to happen very quickly. The government wants to conclude discussion on the budget bill as early as the end of next week. We need to tell as many people as possible so please share this site so thousands will tell their MPs to #CorkTheTax. Thank you in advance for your participation!
