Liberals pledge to fight climate change, cut taxes in Throne Speech

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling for unity in his government’s Speech from the Throne, acknowledging that a minority mandate will require Members of Parliament to work together to fight climate change, cut taxes for the middle class and continue reconciliation with Indigenous people.

The Throne Speech makes repeated nods to the regional divisions that were highlighted in the October election result and Canada’s struggling oil-and-gas sector. At the same time though it makes climate change the government’s top priority – a policy area that has already inflamed anger against Ottawa in the oil patch.

Acknowledging the difficult task of balancing climate action with support for the natural resources sector, the Throne Speech says the government will “work just as hard” to get resources to new markets and offer “unwavering support” for natural resources sector workers. In the election campaign NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh vowed to make dental care free for Canadians, but also stressed the need for universal pharmacare. There is a brief mention of pharmacare, with the speech indicating it is the “key missing piece” of universal health care and saying the government will take steps to introduce and implement national pharmacare.

globepolitics That’s an oxymoron. We all know the Liberals “fight climate change” by placing more carbon taxes on all of us.

globepolitics Mutually exclusive endeavours.

globepolitics They can start by cutting the carbon tax.

globepolitics Sure they do.

globepolitics What suddenly happened to Climate Emergency, The End is Nigh, Catastrophe on our doorstep? Now we’re back to Climate Change, did an overnite miracle happen? JustinTrudeau cathmckenna

globepolitics another tax cut (increase) for the middle class ? Great!

globepolitics Why the smirks?

globepolitics Meanwhile, inside the Prime Minister's head: 'damn, I like that hat' TrudeauWorstPM

globepolitics Sure..

globepolitics Uh, to fight climate change Liberals have been increasing taxes. thronespeech cdnpoli Trudeau

globepolitics Trudeau reign of stupid revisited.

globepolitics They have already mulled over a House Tax, they intend to ram a Carbon Tax onto every Canadian, like it or not. Anyone who actually believes their nonsense is deluded.

globepolitics Fighting climate change and cutting taxes are quite the juxtaposition. Seeing how everytime a politican says climate change its followed by more money being drained from our wallets.

globepolitics Does he not know how to sit like a man with testicles? Also climate change is the least of our worries as canadians and this will be the focus? There are far too many stupid citizens in this country that voted for this
