Poilievre pushing for MPs to call on Senate to ‘immediately’ pass farm fuels carbon tax bill

Yes you can applaud that applaud them applaud the farmer the farmers that feed us of course need energy to do so and therefore they need the ability to power their drying machines to transport their grains uh to to heat and cool their barns for their animals all of which

Requires energy the more tax the government imposes on that energy the more expensive it is for them to produce the food that we eat and thus we have the misery and poverty that has resulted today in the same ways it always has whenever the crown or in this case the

State and the Prime Minister take too much and we see what’s happened the government is Rich and the people are poor after eight years of this prime minister and his NDP government there’s record Food Bank use this week we learned that under NDP policies imposed through this prime minister we had

800,000 people in Ontario alone visit visit six million times to a food bank this is a record smashing number Nationwide 2 million Canadians going to a food bank this is a 32% increase from when the Prime Minister took office after eight years of this prime minister housing costs have doubled the rent has

Doubled mortgage payments have doubled down payments have doubled tent cities have formed in every major city in this country in Halifax the the in the province of the H the federal housing Minister there are now 30 homeless encampments in Halifax one city we never had this before this prime

Minister what is his response he divides to distract he turns Canadian against Canadian he gives out taxpayer funded opioids to medicate people out of their misery later next year he intends to bring in medical assistance and dying for the mentally ill so that people who are living with the total misery and

Isolation that his economy has created can have their lives ended all together we couldn’t even have imagined that life would be this hellish for our people eight years ago Madam speaker and what is his solution now he wants to quadruple the carbon tax he wants to

Raise it to 61 cents a liter on gas and Diesel obviously this will make it unaffordable for people to drive to work and Heat their homes but then there there are the indirect costs because when you tax the energy of the farmer who makes the food and the trucker who

Ships the food you tax all who buy the food let me give you an example in my writing we have Carlton mushrooms uh they Supply mushrooms across the Ottawa Carl region and into Western Quebec they’re now spending $150,000 a year on carbon taxes $150,000 a year and now the Prime

Minister wants to quadruple that tax so we can presume that their tax bill would go up to $600,000 a year all right have that

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pushing for MPs to call on senators to “immediately” pass a bill that would exempt certain farm fuels from the carbon price.
