"Axe the Tax" is a political proposal.
Fair enough.
But it isn't about making life more affordable.
It's spin to conceal a "let the planet burn" climate policy."
Last night, at #Poilievre's "I'm Not Really Campaigning" rally, the loudest cheer went up after PP promised to eliminate ALL vaccine mandates.
Who in their right mind is voting for this? You just know his own kids are fully vaccinated.
After the #measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, the # of cases in #Canada dropped dramatically & by 1998 the country had reached measles elimination status. NOW MEASLES IS BACK due to numbskulls like PP and his supporters. 🤦
#BurnBabyBurn is not a climate policy. You manipulate our stupidest and keep lining your pockets while your countryside burns. You are history's scoundrels. Nothing more, ever. #cdnpoli#Poilievre
Here is Mrs. Poilievre's latest 'Stornoway swag'.
Everyday, Mr. & Mrs. PP assure Canadians that a vote for Pierre will "bring home affordable food" but in the meantime they're urging Canadians to waste nearly $100 bucks on this gawd-awful 'Common Sense" jersey...
That's not the Matterhorn, is it?
The truth is, Conservatives hate the carbon tax because it is progressive and returns the revenue back to Canadians directly, not corporations. They dislike the fact that carbon taxes are not an upward wealth redistribution scheme, or a form of trickle down.
"Pierre #Poilievre's 'axe the tax' campaign is the biggest scam in Canadian political history.
Conservatives are lying to you. It's just that simple.
Cutting the tax will not make life easier for Canadians. The rebates will.
Doing nothing about climate change is not an option!"
'Pierre Poilievre isn’t going to help poor people. It is deeply cynical and wrong to trade on the real stress and struggle of so many [Canadians] to kill the most cost-effective way of reducing pollution.
#Poilievre consistently tells us that food bank usage is at a record high and that axing the tax will “bring home affordable food.”
You’ve almost got to admire the liar. Because it is an incredible lie.'
@LALegault Indeed. @buds_always@va2lam
Mr. & Mrs. Poilievre own TWO houses in Ottawa that they can rent out because the couple lives in a 34 room mansion paid for by the Canadian taxpayers. #Poilievre also owns a condo company in #Calgary called Liberty West.
"If Pierre #Poilievre loses the next election, it will be because of moments like this.
Outside Brian Mulroney’s funeral, Pierre can’t put politics aside and speak to the man’s legacy and family without trying to score political points against his own opponents."
“a lot of venom and vindictiveness that comes from her”
"the Brutus who took a knife to the political career of Conservative leader Erin O’Toole"
“a scorched-earth tactician”
"her return to the Prime Minister’s Office is a frightening thought"
Just one day after Pierre #Poilievre's failed attempt to "bring down" the Liberal govt, the Conservatives have thrown a dead cat on the table and raised the possibility of former prime minister Stephen Harper returning as Minister of Foreign Affairs under a Poilievre government.
Clearly, Mr. Harper has been pulling PP's levers since he was elected party leader, are the Cons dropping the charade?
👉 Until Premier Ford took power in 2018, there was no carbon tax in #Ontario
When #DougFord joins his fellow conservative, Pierre #Poilievre, in the chorus to 'axe the tax,' remember it was FORD who cancelled the market-based cap & trade program set up by the previous government.
Ford then blew through $30M in a court challenge against the carbon levy - all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Pierre #Poilievre has been raging on his 'axe the tax' soapbox for over a year & jetting around the country on his #BurnBabyBurn tours. Mrs. PP is even making money selling Axe t-shirts -ffs. And yet he ditches his "shining moment" to "bring down the govt" to attend a $1700/plate fundraiser on Bay St? We are being played.
Can you imagine Canada's surprise if PP is elected and his 'axe the tax' doesn't magically make everyone rich. 🤦 @zazzoo@BarryCooke
Campaigning on an anti-climate platform is simply obscene. #Poilievre is well aware that 2023 was the hottest year ever documented and records were broken for greenhouse gas levels, ocean heat, sea level rise, and glacier retreats.
His anti-carbon tax campaign is a triumph of misinformation. If PP is this comfortable telling flat-out lies to win power, imagine the lies once he's in power.
