Touring the Sault, Andrew Scheer leads carbon tax protest downtown

Conservative MP Andrew Scheer and supporters gathered outside Sault MP Terry Sheehan’s office today to rally against the Liberal government’s carbon tax.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to "axe the tax" if elected to power in the next federal election. Each year on April 1, the carbon tax will go up by $15 per tonne until it reaches $170 per tonne in 2030. By 2030, the price on carbon will add nearly 40 cents per litre of fuel for Canadian motorists.“In the few days we have left my message to the people of Sault Ste. Marie is pick up the phone, get on your computer, send your MP a message and tell him to listen to you and not the Liberal and NDP bosses in Ottawa,” Scheer said at Thursday’s gathering.

Scheer said that a Conservative government led by Poilievre would get rid of the carbon tax and use other sources of energy — such as liquid natural gas — to cut down on carbon emissions. Arnold Heino, the People's Party of Canada candidate for the Sault in the next federal election, said Trudeau’s carbon tax is part of a larger globalist agenda.

Like many other downtown merchants, Pyette is concerned over the increase in local crime and locks the doors of his business during regular hours, leaving customers having to ring a doorbell to enter.
