The federal Conservative Party leader rallied in Nanaimo, promising to 91裸聊视频渁xe the tax91裸聊视频� the day a carbon tax increase came into effect nationwide.
Pierre Poilievre held a rally Monday, April 1, at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, panning the carbon tax increase and its impacts on motorists filling up on the pump, and predicting it will cause other goods and services to become more expensive, too.
Poilievre said if the Conservative Party forms the next government, it will better support Canadian oil and gas production.

Meanwhile, as carbon tax protests dotted the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says premiers would rather complain and 91裸聊视频渕ake political hay91裸聊视频� out of his federal carbon pricing program than present an alternative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Trudeau made the remarks after Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey wrote a letter urging him to convene an 91裸聊视频渆mergency meeting of leaders91裸聊视频� to discuss options.
He says the increase will also mean larger rebates, which families are set to receive beginning April 15 to help offset the higher cost of fuel. He also points to the costs climate change has imposed on Canadians through disasters such as wildfires or floods.
