Interesting reel from Mario Zelaya about Pierre Poilievre’s pledge to introduce a **Taxpayer Protection Act** that would require any new tax or tax increase to be approved by a national referendum—not just by politicians. His framing: taxpayers should have a direct say, and any new spending should be offset by cuts elsewhere.
This is actually genius. I wish this was done 25 years ago. #taxhike #pierrepoilievre #conservatives #canada
