THUNDER BAY — Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre painted a bleak picture of Canada under the Trudeau government, while promising tax cuts and action to spur housing builds during a stop in Thunder Bay.
The visit is part of a swing through Northern Ontario that will also hit Kapuskasing, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, and North Bay. “We should make this the fastest place in the world to get a building permit,” he said. “I’m saying to the big cities, they have to boost building permits by 15 per cent per year, or they will lose federal grants. Those that exceed that 15 per cent target will get a bonus.”
If elected, he has pledged to repeal Bill C-69, the Impact Assessment Act, which strengthened some requirements like climate impact assessments for new infrastructure projects. Asked how he would address concerns from First Nations who are calling for greater control over development on their traditional lands, Poilievre responded simply that “a lot of First Nations do want development.”
The Conservative leader also argued those struggling with addiction need access to “treatment and recovery, rather than tax-funded opioids,” referring to safe supply programs that have won federal approval in cities including Thunder Bay.
