Canada’s Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre faced off against Trudeau for the first time since being elected leader of the party. 

Poilievre asked Trudeau about the repercussions of his government’s carbon tax increase on the cost of living for Canadians, especially at a time where energy costs and inflation are making life harder for all. 

Poilievre pointed out the hypocrisy of Trudeau who “burned more jet fuel in one month than 20 average Canadians burned in an entire year”. 

Trudeau refused to give a real answer as to whether he listened to Canadians’ concerns about the carbon tax hike. PM Trudeau also deflected Poilievre’s questions regarding the coming Liberal Party tax hikes.
