      Pierre… I can’t afford a home. I don’t think it’s because of the carbon tax. And I don’t think it’s because trans people can use the bathroom.

      Conservatives pretended for 2 seconds to care about affordability issues, but, having nothing of substance to offer, they quickly collapse into pushing these culture war BS issues.

      [This is one of two motions the Conservatives have on notice for tomorrow’s opposition day debate.](https://www.ourcommons.ca/documentviewer/en/44-1/house/sitting-292/order-notice/page-12) As it’s the last supply day of this cycle, even if Poilievre doesn’t move his confidence motion, there are still a number of (unavoidable, undeferrable) confidence votes tomorrow evening – routine spending and supply bills that are always voted on during the last supply day.

      Poilievre’s motion reads:

      > That the House declare non-confidence in the Prime Minister and his costly government for increasing the carbon tax 23 % on April 1, as part of his plan to quadruple the tax while Canadians cannot afford to eat, heat and house themselves, and call for the House to be dissolved so Canadians can vote in a carbon tax election.

      “The Prime Minister is pathologically obsessed with the Carbon Tax” – Poilievre, January 2024.

      The only person who is pathologically obsessed with the Carbon Tax is Pierre Poilievre.

      Regardless of whether you think pollution pricing is good policy, there is no reality where it is a bad enough policy that it merits this level of attention and campaigning. It is not the cause of the affordability crisis, it is not the cause of inflation, it is not the cause of high home prices.

      The impact of the carbon tax on individuals is generally positive, and even when it’s not, it’s marginal. If you are in a position where you are losing a substantial amount of money to carbon pricing you are either wealthy (the only way to really afford to burn that much carbon) or are doing something wildly inefficient and should be financially disincentivized from whatever that thing is.

      Ah, theatrics from the CPC. They know it won’t pass. All this does is waste time, and then they’ll make a case that Trudeau and Singh are holding Canadian democracy hostage, or whatever.

      If Poilievre is most likely going to become Prime Minister at this point, then just hold out until 2025. Hopefully Poilievre peaks and then somehow manages to fumble his 20 point lead in that time. Which is why the CPC wants an election yesterday while he’s up in the polls. Don’t give that to him.

      How about mass immigration destroying our housing schools hospital and job market? Carbon tax is not the issue people care about immigration is
