OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says conservative politicians across Canada, including premiers, are lying to Canadians about the carbon price.
Trudeau's government is buckling as attacks mount against carbon pricing and voters increasingly side with politicians who say the policy is making their lives less affordable.
He is accusing Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of blocking legislation that would double the rebate top-up for rural Canadians. "How is it we shouldn't make big polluters pay?" Boulerice demanded, accusing Moe of believing that"giant vacuum cleaners" will suck emissions out of the sky to solve climate change.
MPs from the three parties, which all endorse carbon pricing, pushed Moe to explain what he would do to cut emissions. Ontario Liberal MP Francis Drouin challenged Moe on why he hasn't cut taxes he is in control of if he is so concerned about the cost of living.In January, Moe also stopped the province's collection of the carbon price on natural gas used for heat, in retaliation for the federal decision to temporarily exempt heating oil from the policy.
