The rally was one of many campaign-style events across Canada targeting Liberal and NDP MPs
The Federal Conservatives continued their push for the South Okanagan - West Kootenay riding with a visit from MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the representative for South Surrey—White Rock and Chief Opposition Whip.
The rally is part of a national effort by the Conservatives to go after NDP and Liberal MPs who voted to support an increase to the carbon tax. The campaign’s simple phrases of ‘Spike the Hike’ and ‘Axe the Tax’ were present both on signs and in Findlay’s speech. Findlay pointed to recent polling that found a majority of Canadians opposed an increase to the carbon tax, alongside opposition from provincial leaders.
Findlay responded by stating Conservatives would support green innovation by pushing liquid natural gas usage and export and cited an Edmonton company that turns plastic waste into burnable gas instead of putting it into landfills.
