Update: NDP to back Conservative motion calling for carbon price off all heat sources

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he will bring forward a motion on Monday to pause the carbon price for all forms of home heating and not just heating oil.

Absolutely ridiculous. Why are we punishing people who are trying hard to conserve their resources and use less energy? The carbon tax is revenue neutral, if you burn less than the average person you are BETTER OFF with a higher tax. This is a GOOD tax for the poor, and the cons are using this wedge to hurt them

Heating oil is the worst form of heating for GHG, and yet because the Liberals hold seats in an area that's heavily invested in heating oil, we get a pass for heating oil. It's fucking bullshit. Tax everyone if you're trying to fix a problem this way.

I'm agree the Liberals are in the wrong here but this guy never forgoes an opportunity to sound like a massive tool.

โ€œSo, the question becomes, what will Jagmeet Singh do?โ€ Poilievre asked in his caucus address.

โ€œWill he stand with the voters who put their trust in his MPs in places like Timmins and other cold northern communities? Or will he once again sell out working class Canadians in order to suck up to Justin Trudeau? That will be his decision.โ€

He's never been nothing more than a greased bag of hot air. We're in for some very fucked times if this dipshit gets in... Pro-theism, anti-science, sided with seditionists, at one point wanted people to ditch CAD in favour of BTC (couldn't even pick a crypto coin with some promise of utility)... I have no idea how people look at this guy and think "yes, I absolutely want him in charge of the country"

Trudeau may not be great, but he's not nearly as hate-fueled and greasy as Poilivere.
