These companies are gouging Canadians at the pumps and making record profits. This is happening at a time when so many are struggling due to the increased cost of living.\r\n\r\nA windfall tax could generate billions in revenue that could be used to help people in need. This tax is fundamentally about fairness, ensuring that profitable sectors contribute their fair share to society, especially when many are facing hardships.\r\n\r\nPlease consider advocating for this important measure. A similar tax already exists for banks, so we know it can be done.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\n<\/textarea><\/div><\/div><div class=\"af-field af-field-type-text af-field-first-name acf-field acf-field-text acf-field-675735e63e351 af-field-required\" data-name=\"first_name\" data-key=\"field_675735e63e351\" data-type=\"text\"><div class=\"af-label acf-label\"><label for=\"acf-field_675735e63e351\">First Name <span class=\"acf-required\">*<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class=\"af-input acf-input\"><div class=\"acf-input-wrap\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"acf-field_675735e63e351\" name=\"acf[field_675735e63e351]\" placeholder=\"First Name\" required=\"required\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"af-field af-field-type-text af-field-last-name acf-field acf-field-text acf-field-67573e473e352 af-field-required\" data-name=\"last_name\" data-key=\"field_67573e473e352\" data-type=\"text\"><div class=\"af-label acf-label\"><label for=\"acf-field_67573e473e352\">Last Name <span class=\"acf-required\">*<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class=\"af-input acf-input\"><div class=\"acf-input-wrap\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"acf-field_67573e473e352\" name=\"acf[field_67573e473e352]\" placeholder=\"Last Name\" required=\"required\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"af-field af-field-type-email af-field-email acf-field acf-field-email acf-field-6757435e3e353 af-field-required\" data-name=\"email\" data-key=\"field_6757435e3e353\" data-type=\"email\"><div class=\"af-label acf-label\"><label for=\"acf-field_6757435e3e353\">Email <span class=\"acf-required\">*<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class=\"af-input acf-input\"><div class=\"acf-input-wrap\"><input type=\"email\" id=\"acf-field_6757435e3e353\" name=\"acf[field_6757435e3e353]\" placeholder=\"Email\" required=\"required\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"af-field af-field-type-text af-field-postal-code acf-field acf-field-text acf-field-675743663e354 af-field-required\" data-name=\"postal_code\" data-key=\"field_675743663e354\" data-type=\"text\"><div class=\"af-label acf-label\"><label for=\"acf-field_675743663e354\">Postal Code <span class=\"acf-required\">*<\/span><\/label><\/div><div class=\"af-input acf-input\"><div class=\"acf-input-wrap\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"acf-field_675743663e354\" name=\"acf[field_675743663e354]\" placeholder=\"Postal Code\" required=\"required\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"af-field af-field-type-number af-field-phone acf-field acf-field-number acf-field-6757436c3e355\" data-name=\"phone\" data-key=\"field_6757436c3e355\" data-type=\"number\"><div class=\"af-label acf-label\"><label for=\"acf-field_6757436c3e355\">Phone (optional)<\/label><\/div><div class=\"af-input acf-input\"><div class=\"acf-input-wrap\"><input type=\"number\" id=\"acf-field_6757436c3e355\" name=\"acf[field_6757436c3e355]\" step=\"any\" placeholder=\"Phone (optional)\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"af-submit acf-form-submit\"><button type=\"submit\" class=\"acf-button af-submit-button\">Sign<\/button><span class=\"acf-spinner af-spinner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/form><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October 2023, Green MP Mike Morrice ignited a nationwide conversation by introducing Motion M-92.
