Conservative leader says Trudeau will hike carbon tax if he wins vote in 2019
REGINA — Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer welcomed 2019 with a warning that if Canadians re-elect Justin Trudeau this year, the federal carbon tax that’s going to take effect will only climb.
“Canadians know what Justin Trudeau is going to do. Now that his carbon tax is here, it’s only going to go up. And if he gets re-elected in 10 months, it will go up even more,” Scheer said during a New Year’s Day news conference in a Giant Tiger store in Regina.
“This time next year I plan on being able to tell Canadians that Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax is a thing of the past.”
