Federal Conservative leader ratchets up political pressure over Liberals’ signature climate policy

The minority Liberals are facing increasing political pressure on their signature climate policy, as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre triggers a no-confidence vote in the House of Commons.

Under his leadership, the Tories have successfully seized upon the post-COVID-19 cost-of-living and inflation crisis as a platform to convince Canadians the carbon price is making their lives much less affordable. “Climate change is real, it’s impacting Canadians and it’s costing Canadians, and you’ll never hear Pierre Poilievre talk about that,” he said.

“If there’s someone, somewhere that can show me a measure that comes at no cost to Canadian taxpayers because it’s revenue-neutral, that can give us a third of our emission reduction, I’d like to hear it,” Guilbeault said. But the optics gave Conservatives and other critics plenty of room to accuse Trudeau of blinking on a signature policy out of fear of losing votes in Atlantic Canada.
