Poilievre calls for answers as newly-released report forecasts carbon tax economic impact on Canada

"The economic vandalism and carbon tax cover-up of this government has now been exposed," Poilievre alleged, saying that the Liberal government had "leaked out" the real figures and "the economic hit Canada will take — originally reported at $20 billion — with inflation it's $30 billion a year or almost $2,000 for every single family in Canada."
Poilievre's comments were in reference to the release of a report created for the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) forecasting the economic impact of the industrial carbon tax on Canada, as well as other pertinent forecasted figures such as the total percentage of emissions saved.
Environment Minister of Canada Steven Guilbeault shot back saying "the Conservative Party of Canada are entitled to their opinion, not their own sets of facts Mr. Speaker. The facts are clear — eight out of 10 families get more money back from carbon pricing than it costs them.”

This government is sick.I am 69 years old and worked as a slave in a factory for 45 years. When I had to quit in 2016 because my knees couldn't take it anymore they gave me $6000 dollars in severance. The government took $2000 from me in taxes. I do not want to call myself a victim but I was a chump in believing that anyone in power cared about me.I got a job at a golf course which is a lot easier than slugging it out in the factory but I still have to work 42 hours a week just to make ends meet. Thank you Mr. Trudeau, you just have no clue what is going on in this once great country.

$30 BILLION in a time when we have a housing crisis, people living in nearly every public park, all our food banks are empty, and food is unaffordable for many. This gov is absolutely crazy. They'd tax your last breath.
