OTTAWA — Liberal House leader Karina Gould lambasted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as a"fraudster" Monday morning after he said the federal carbon price is going to cause a"nuclear winter."
On Sunday Poilievre said increasing the carbon price will cause a"nuclear winter," painting a dystopian picture of people starving and freezing because they can't afford food or heat due the carbon price. Gould accused Poilievre of ignoring the rebates, and refusing to tell Canadians how he would make life more affordable while battling climate change.
Despite previously supporting the consumer carbon price, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has been distancing himself from the policy. Poilievre intends to bring a non-confidence motion against the government as early as this week but would likely need both the Bloc and NDP to support it. Neither have indicated an appetite for triggering an election.
The Liberals said at their caucus retreat last week that they would be sharpening their attacks on Poilievre this fall, seeking to reverse his months-long rise in the polls.
