What he fails to mention is that
The Supreme Court of Canada upheld Carbon Pricing because if it was removed there would be ....
👉 "irreversible consequences for the environment, for human health and safety and for the economy — if Parliament were unable to constitutionally address the matter at a national level.”[10]"
Another KEY POINT the Conservatives always forget to mention:
"Pierre #Poilievre cannot actually cancel Canada's carbon tax because having one is a requirement of most of our trade agreements with other countries and 'axing the tax' would void those agreements."
Cons also forget to mention Pierre could however cancel your cash rebates...immediately.
Has anyone actually heard Conservative leader Pierre #Poilievre claim that after he's cancelled the carbon tax, Canadian consumers will see big box retailers, gas companies & grocery stores reduce their prices enough to result in significant savings?
Because that's what many of PP's #AxeTheTax rally attendees think is going to happen. 🤦 Some even think they'll be buying a house straightaway once he's elected.
"Canadian conservatives
Starting with Prime Minister Harper
Wanted carbon pricing.
Poilievre voted for it 11 times.
If PP is elected there'll still be a carbon tax,
Although they'll likely change the name.
There'll be no rebates.
Or drop in grocery prices.
Just cuts to every public service."
Pensions and
Children's monthly benefits first.
Note that #Poilievre never alludes
To the fundamental reason
For carbon taxes,
Cap & trade, or whatever, which is
To save our planet.
