“They’re all just like Justin,” Poilievre told reporters in Ottawa during his first press conference since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would be resigning once the Liberal party had elected a new leader.
“In the next election I will be running against Justin Trudeau, whether his name is Justin Trudeau or his name is Chrystia Freeland or carbon tax Carney or carbon tax Clark, they will all be Justin Trudeau,” he said on Thursday.
“They supported everything he’s done and they promise to keep doing it. If they say otherwise, we know they’re lying because they would have done so earlier.”
Poilievre then listed off potential candidates Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland and Christy Clark, all of who could potentially serve as the new leader of the Liberals, citing each of their long-standing alignment with Trudeau’s policies.
“I’m calling on Justin Trudeau to do what he has the legal power to do, he can do it without his caucus supporting him. I’m calling on him to walk out of Rideau Hall and announce that there will be an ‘axe the tax’ election now so that Canadians can take back their lives and country,” he said. “The choice will be simple, either the NDP-Liberals, who tax your food, punish your work, double your housing costs, unleash crime and chaos and weakness on the world stage or common sense Conservatives.”
Poilievre went on to say that Canada needs a “massive tax cut” to bolster a stronger economy that is producing and manufacturing products domestically.
