David MenziesHOST
Oh my goodness.
David MenziesHOST
Well, folks, we have our next guest and I'm delighted to introduce Noah Jarvis, the Ontario Director of the Taxpayers Federation.
David MenziesHOST
Noah, how are you doing there? Oh, I don't think we have audio there, Noah.
Noah JarvisGUEST
Sorry about that.
Sue-Ann LevyHOST
I'm really impressed.
Sue-Ann LevyHOST
So it's been long
David MenziesHOST
delayed, and we don't know how many polls have been counted, but right now Brad Bradford at 53.6 to Olivia Chow's 41.5. Tell me, as far as the Taxpayers Federation, do you have a dog in the hunt here that you're supporting to be Mayor of Toronto?
Noah JarvisGUEST
Well, as you know, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is a nonpartisan organization.
Neil MathesonHOST
and now we get to the other the other two leaders that weren't there uh for the um the debate night they didn't qualify because they didn't have a kind of official status or whatever whatever you call it but the the first one we'll talk about is dallas brody and she was up against this is important this is why i wanted to include this one she was up against uh Carson Binda.
Neil MathesonHOST
Carson Binda, for people that don't know, he was a star candidate for the B.C. Conservatives because he's the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Brent FrainHOST
Yes.
Brent FrainHOST
Yes.
David MenziesHOST
Like I said, a product for our time.
Sheila Gunn ReidHOST
And I just want to really drive home the point from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Sheila Gunn ReidHOST
The Taxpayers Federation, Olivia, I'm just popping this into the chat now that just talking about the government's access to your messaging and why you don't want a company that stores your metadata.
Sheila Gunn ReidHOST
The taxpayers are intervening in a Supreme Court case that basically they're trying to block the access of the CRA to your text messages and emails.
Kris SimsGUEST
And so that's where I guess now what I'm waiting to see.
Kris SimsGUEST
is we often deal at the Taxpayers Federation with stuff that goes between Ottawa and Alberta.
Kris SimsGUEST
So for example, no more pipelines, production caps, carbon taxes, all that stuff.
Kris SimsGUEST
So now we have got a current test The Alberta Court of Appeal just ruled about a week or so ago in favor of the Taxpayers Federation of the province of Alberta, saying that Ottawa had to stay in its lane, that it was unconstitutional for Ottawa to be stepping over its boundary and telling any province like Alberta, no, you can't build pipelines.
Kris SimsGUEST
And keep in mind, it's not just pipelines.
Kris SimsGUEST
It was quarries and mines and offshore oil and gas off Newfoundland and Labrador.

Kris SimsGUEST
He's able to do that.
Kris SimsGUEST
He's a free person.
Jordan BatemanHOST
That's a riding he would have won last time, except that the John Rustad made a poor decision in taking a fringe candidate and putting him as the BC Conservative candidate there instead of taking Jamie Stein, who would have won Langara for him last time.
Jordan BatemanHOST
Carson Binda, who followed in my footsteps at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation as BC Director, now the member for Vancouver Kilchenna, absolutely blowing out one BC leader, Dallas Brodie.
Jordan BatemanHOST
Margareta Dovgol in Vancouver, Yaletown, another outstanding candidate, managing director of ResourceWorks, understands the energy file, 30 years old, bright future for Margareta.
Jordan BatemanHOST
Super smart, super smart.
LewisHOST
The national... debt servicing for the Canadian government is over $50 billion a year, right? So it's a billion dollars a week.
LewisHOST
And like Chris Sims, one of our favorite people in the whole world from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, when she was on our show earlier this year, I think it was, it might even have been a year ago now, we need to get her back.
LewisHOST
She put it so plainly.
LewisHOST
She created an image for us and it worked for me.
Devin DroverGUEST
And every time the answer has been the same, that Ottawa is reaching into resources the Constitution says belongs to the provinces.
Devin DroverGUEST
And You know, I'm very proud of the work we do here in the legal department of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation because we have been in this fight each step, each of these three court decisions.
Devin DroverGUEST
We've been intervening, which means we've been in the courtroom making the voice of taxpayers known and saying that this law is unconstitutional.
Devin DroverGUEST
And again, we've had a court agree with us.

Franco TerrazzanoHOST
Now it's almost impossible in some instances to make sure that these people in our communities have jobs, you know, so that they can provide the necessities for their families.
Franco TerrazzanoHOST
Like that's that's the really the one that really pulls at the heartstrings, you know.
Franco TerrazzanoHOST
But there's another important reason why we need these natural resources developed here in Canada, and it really follows under our mandate here at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, and it's this.
Franco TerrazzanoHOST
Look, with these governments borrowing a crazy amount of money, you know these politicians are always flipping over the couch cushions, looking for as much money to take from you as they can.
Peter BethlenfalvySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They are necessary in the current environment.
Siobhan MorrisCORRESPONDENT
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation doesn't buy it.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's no excuse for running a deficit, especially as revenues have increased for this government 50% over the past eight years.
Siobhan MorrisCORRESPONDENT
There's an understanding Ontario workers and businesses need help.
Ezra LevantHOST
But someone who follows the file very closely is our friend Franco Terzano.
Ezra LevantHOST
He's the boss of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Ezra LevantHOST
What a pleasure to have him back on the show.
Ezra LevantHOST
Franco, great to see you.
9 MINS LATER
Franco TerrazzanoGUEST

Ezra LevantHOST
All right, there he is, Franco Tirzano.
Ezra LevantHOST
He's the big boss of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Ezra LevantHOST
Stay with us.
GordAUDIENCE
I said that to Danielle, and it's almost like I was offending her.
GordAUDIENCE
And I'm going, well, the Canadian Taxpayers Association said that.
GordAUDIENCE
So maybe we should look at different ways.
GordAUDIENCE
