Beer Canada

None of Canada's major trading partners tax beer the way our federal government does. Since 2017, federal beer taxes have increased by more than 20% - without a debate in Parliament and without a vote. It's time to end the automatic beer tax escalator. hereforbeer.ca/

🍺 DYK the federal beer excise tax escalator raises beer taxes every April 1, without a decision by anyone? No other G7 country does this. Tax increases should be a deliberate decision, not a formula. Repeal it in Budget 2026. Please celebrate responsibly. 🇨🇦 #BrewedInCanada
