Conservative MP Tracy Gray condemns Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney's remarks on fentanyl and the carbon tax during a Kelowna visit. Gray accuses Carney of downplaying the fentanyl crisis and promoting a larger carbon tax that will further burden Canadians.
Kelowna-Lake Country Conservative MP Tracy Gray has called out federal Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney for comments he made about fentanyl and the carbon tax during a stop in Kelowna on Feb. 12.
During his speech to Liberal supporters, Carney addressed U.S. President Donald Trump’s demands that Canada stem what he claimed was the threat of fentanyl and illegal aliens crossing the border. Gray’s statement said that more than 2,200 British Columbians - six every day - died from overdoses last year. She added it was disgusting for Carney to say that 50,000 opioid deaths under the Carney-Trudeau Liberal government is not a crisis, but merely a ‘challenge’.”
Gray also took Carney to task over the carbon tax and what she called the inflationary policies he was the architect of as Trudeau’s handpicked economic advisor. “Instead, all he could talk about is how much he loves his new and bigger shadow carbon tax policy which will drive up the cost of everything even more,” she said.
