Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“The government's 16-cent-a-litre tax sends Canadian money to big American companies for expensive fuel. This makes gas and food too expensive for Canadian families.”
“Mr. Speaker, at Trump Tower, they will be popping the champagne today, knowing that this government is defending a 16¢-a-litre tax that sends Canadian money south of the border to subsidize large U.S. corporations selling us overpriced biofuel. That single mother who is turning back items at the grocery store, because it costs too much for the trucker to deliver those items, or the family who cannot quite fill up the minivan can take comfort in knowing that the Prime Minister has a “make America great again” tax at the pump.”
