Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called on the Trudeau government to suspend all federal gas taxes to provide Canadians with relief from inflation during the summer months. Poilievre's proposal, dubbed the 'summer gas holiday,' aims to alleviate financial pressure on Canadians from Victoria Day to Labour Day. He has also questioned the effectiveness of the government's carbon tax in addressing forest fires, criticizing a planned increase to 61 cents per litre. Poilievre argues that higher taxes on gas, heat, and groceries, coupled with rising housing costs, have contributed to increased food bank usage in Canada. He specifically pointed out that Trudeau and Singh will blame everyone but themselves for the exploding food bank use.
