CALGARY, AB: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is pleased to announce the appointment of Franco Terrazzano as its new Federal Director.
âFranco is smart, articulate and, most importantly, absolutely dedicated to standing up for taxpayers,â said Todd MacKay, the CTFâs Vice President of Communications. âDuring his time as Alberta Director, he made politicians feel the heat when they wasted taxpayersâ money and weâre confident heâll do the same thing in Ottawa.â
Franco is replacing Aaron Wudrick, who held the Federal Director position since 2014. Franco has been the CTFâs Alberta Director since 2018 and will be making his way to Ottawa this summer. Franco will temporarily serve as both the Federal and Alberta Director.

The CEO of the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD) has praised Vice President Dr Mahammudu Bawumia and Finance Minister-designate, Ken Ofori Atta for stepping up and playing active roles to plug national revenue loopholes in the petroleum industry.
According to Senyo Hosi, the evasion of tax by some operators in the industry cost the nation about $1.9 billion in lost revenue which could have been used to provide much-needed social services and bolster the national economy.
He noted that even though successive governments have failed to live up to their promises to help address the issue, especially with regards to illegal fuel trading, Dr Bawumia and Mr Ofori-Atta have contributed remarkably to efforts to stem the tide.
