We’re a nonpartisan, grassroots movement of citizens who care about how our tax dollars are spent. Across every level of government — local, provincial, and federal — taxpayers deserve honesty, transparency, and accountability.
Too often, waste and mismanagement leave communities shortchanged while the real issues go unanswered. We believe it’s time for that to change.
At the Coalition of Concerned Taxpayers, we’re working to shine a light on government spending, expose waste, and empower everyday people to demand better. When citizens get informed and speak up, government listens.
Together, we can make sure every dollar serves the public good.
Join us — stay informed, get involved, and help build a more transparent and accountable future for all taxpayers.

We focus on areas where transparency and accountability can deliver the greatest impact for taxpayers and communities.
