Pierre Poilievre has announced his intention to eliminate the carbon tax for consumers but has not clarified his stance on the pricing system for Canadian industries. In response, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has defended the carbon tax, asserting that it lowers emissions, provides financial benefits to Canadians, and includes rebate cheques. Trudeau has also criticized Poilievre's housing plan, labeling it as 'exceptionally weak,' and emphasized that any economic plan must include measures to combat climate change. Poilievre has countered by attacking Trudeau over rising inflation, carbon taxes, and housing issues, which he described as 'housing hell,' urging the Prime Minister to suspend fuel taxes over the summer and put aside his 'wacko ideology.'
