Canada’s government should look at taxing excess profits instead of relying on higher interest rates to bring down inflation, according to the head of the left-wing party propping up Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in parliament.

Ease inflation?

These “excess profits” came from corporations stealing it from taxpayer's pockets, who are currently unable to pay for food or housing.

How about forcing these corporations to return our stolen dollars instead?

Simply taxing "excess profits" will in no way slow down or stop this highway robbery from happening in the first place. Taxpayers are the ones who are losing, either way! Give us our money back!
