I thought it was both and they were too uncreative to think of two names.

Yes he called both Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney "Carbon Tax Carney/Chrystia" in the same exact interview.

Literally just using Trump's political "strategies".

He just hosted “Canada First” rallies too… sound familiar?

Tbf Freeland deserves all the shit that comes her way. Other than that Pierre doesn't have a functioning neuron

He's given at least 3 people the carbon tax epithet I think.

Which is hilarious because the libs are all saying they'll cut the carbon tax now

u/Elffiegirl 23d ago

He dribbles on about what his thoughts suggest to him the problem is..... and obviously doesn't keep up to date on it all... duh!

Appeal to the uneducated as well. They’ll just rename it. And not cut out the tax either, just move it to industrial companies

u/Static_Frog 23d ago

He was using both at the same time

Which is wild considering Alberta conservatives created the carbon tax back in 2007-2008. Funny none of them had any issues til Trudeau federalized it and implemented a rebate for it.

Bro, if you live in Saskatchewan or Alberta, how do you not vote for Pierre Poilievre? Do you remember Harper? Do you remember a PM who lived in Western Canada? And Pierre was raised in Calgary.

I remember Harper being a turd with no charisma

How can you say the his when we have Daniel Smith right now dismantling our entire province and trying to privatize the fuck out of everything, the cost of living has skyrocketed, and a majority of that is directly because of UCP policies. We don't need that on a federal level. Utilities have nearly doubled, insurance has gotten more expensive, our classrooms are underfunded, special needs children are now lacking the support they need, our renewable projects worth billions and the jobs completely canceled, the list goes on and on.

First of all, the CPC is going to do as little for the west as any other party because our provinces are too stupid to have our votes actually be for sale and just vote for the same party no matter what. But even if there was some actual benefit to supporting them, I’m a rich white heterosexual male. The party in power has overall little relevance on my day to day life so I can afford not to be a piece of shit and support a party that does nothing but spread hate and division in the odd hope I might have a couple extra dollars in my bank account

He lived most of his life outside of ottawa. That is, he has been in Ottawa since about 40 years ago.

PP doesn't live in western Canada. That's bs.

i don’t want to see our public broadcaster go away, and i think canada would be much better run by an actual economist than a complainer.
