Poilievre demands Freeland give Canadians a ‘gas tax break’ amid Justinflation
Roberto Wakerell-Cruz is a Montreal-based journalist, writer, and podcast host. He is the main host of This Week In Canada, a comedy and opinion news show.
Poilievre vowed to “fight Justinflation” by firing the governor of the Bank of Canada for ” failing to do his job and ending the money-printing deficits.”
Conservative leadership frontrunner Pierre Poilievre requested on Tuesday that Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland give Canadians a “tax break on gasoline this summer.”
In the statement, Poilievre wrote that “the price of gas in Canada is up 55% from last year. It’s so high, people are suffering – and there are no signs of relief.”
