OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is threatening to plunge Canada into a"carbon tax election" as Liberal MPs struggle to defend the government's signature climate policy against growing backlash.
"If Trudeau does not declare today an end to his forthcoming tax increases on food, gas and heat ... we will introduce a motion of non-confidence." The exemption decision prompted Conservatives and other critics to accuse Trudeau of blinking on his signature climate policy out of fear of losing votes.
Poilievre kicked off last week's rallies with a campaign event in the Greater Toronto Area with his newest MP, Jamil Jivani, who handily won an election in the riding previously held by former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole. Ahead of next month's increase, seven provincial premiers have also panned what Poilievre calls the 23 per cent hike, citing a high cost of living driven by inflation and high food prices.
