Is Trudeau worth almost 34 thousand dollars a month? Because that’s what he’ll start earning as of tomorrow. And on top of it, he has the nerve to tell us that the carbon tax increase is going to make our lives more affordable.
Tomorrow all MP’s and the Prime Minister will get another raise making them the second highest paid Politicians in the world. At the same time all Canadians lives are being made less affordable by the second highest paid Politicians in the world by increasing the carbon tax 23%…

Since Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault endorsed the Canadian Climate Institute's report on Canada's emissions, that means he agrees the federal fuel charge that goes up 23% on Monday, will reduce emissions by a mere 8% to 14%. Seldom has so much been said about so little.
Just over 24 hours until another rise in the carbon tax even though almost 70% of Canadians oppose it. Watch our video on the Carbon Tax Revolt here: https://t.co/az55gHN499 https://t.co/afU3RqB9c3

Taking our money and then giving some of it back every few months is not making life affordable. The Liberal Government is lying to Canadians. Now if they said they were making life more miserable, then at least they’d be telling the truth.
