“Canadians pay too much for gasoline because of high taxes. I don't like the Liberals' temporary gimmick. Conservatives proposed eliminating the federal fuel tax for a year. That would save people 25 cents per litre. Liberals voted to keep high fuel taxes. High fuel taxes make groceries and deliveries cost more too. Conservatives would actually reduce the burden. People shouldn't have to choose between driving and eating.”
