OTTAWA — As the Liberals try to reverse their political fortunes with the latest federal budget, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ratcheted up attacks against his Conservative opponent on Wednesday, tying him to a far-right American figure.
Polls suggest the Liberal budget released last week has yet to resonate — but Trudeau suggested it's still more of a plan than what Poilievre has on offer, other than trying to exploit public anxieties.
Sebastian Skamski said Poilievre greeted them because he saw it was an"anti-carbon tax protest" and because of his vocal opposition to the federal consumer carbon price. In the video, Poilievre says he was travelling from P.E.I. to Nova Scotia when he spotted the group, which he mentions hearing about on the news."I will axe the tax," he tells protesters, adding that others support their cause.
Poilievre then praises the group, telling them to"keep it up," calling their protest"a good, old-fashioned Canadian tax revolt." Jones was ordered to pay nearly $1 billion in damages to the families of the victims of the deadly 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, which he long portrayed as a hoax. Trudeau's Liberals have spent the better part of the past year badly trailing Poilievre's Conservatives, polls suggest.
