OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre threatened Wednesday to throw a massive wrench into the machinery of Parliament unless Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exempts more people from having to pay the carbon price.
Between proposing thousands of legislative amendments to forcing hundreds of votes on individual government spending plans, Poilievre vowed his party will not let the Trudeau Liberals take their Christmas break without changing their carbon pricing program.
“You’ve ruined Christmas for Canadians,” Poilievre said in a speech to his MPs Wednesday morning, in reference to the current cost of living pressures facing Canadians and that he blames in part on the carbon pricing program.
