Murphy's Logic and reflections on 45+ years of broadcasting | SaltWireOTTAWA — Conservatives and New Democrats sided with most of the country’s premiers on Monday in voting for a motion calling on the federal government to extend the carbon tax exemption to all forms of home heating.

“Given that the NDP was forced to flip-flop on Trudeau’s plan to quadruple the tax, he had to find a new partner to keep them in power and avoid this non-confidence vote from passing. And who was there to save him? The separatists,” Poilievre told reporters. “We think it’s unfair,” Singh told reporters on Monday. “It pits region against region against each other and so we’re voting to reject the Liberals’ divisive plan. We do believe in fighting the climate crisis, unlike the Conservatives.”

Singh admitted he is “always very uncomfortable” to be “seen in any way voting alongside” the Conservatives, given that they have not presented a plan to tackle climate change, and that is why he said New Democrats would be presenting a plan of their own on Tuesday.
