Poilievre faces off with Trudeau: Ground the jet, park the hypocrisy, and axe the tax hikes | FULL

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took questions from newly-minted Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre for the first time on Thursday in the House of Commons’ question period. “Heating your home in January and February in Canada is not a luxury. And it does not make those Canadians – polluters – they're just trying to survive. This from a prime minister who burned more jet fuel in one month than twenty average Canadians in an entire year. So will the prime minister ground the jet, park the hypocrisy, and axe the tax hikes,“ Poilievre said. Trudeau unveiled the government’s proposed affordability measures on Sept. 13. The Liberal government's proposed affordability measures included money for struggling renters, a temporary dental care benefit for some kids under 12, and a one-time boost to the GST tax credit. Poilievre has suggested that new spending would not help average Canadians – and could risk making inflation even worse.
