Gas tax getaway? Poilievre pushes Trudeau to give Canadians "summer break" from fuel taxes
On Thursday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to give Canadians a "fuel tax holiday" by suspending all gas and diesel taxes for the summer.
"Canadians are struggling and they are unable to even afford a vacation. They need a break, for God's sake," he said.
"It will reduce gas prices by 35 cents a litre, allowing families to get on the road and go off to their favourite campsite, maybe a cottage or a cabin. Do some fishing, some hunting, or just get away for a weekend," Poilievre said.

The idea is if you use less carbon, then you get back more than you put in. It provides an incentive, rather than a punishment. It does work. We’ve had it BC for many years. BUT it has not been communicated well. Also M. Pollievre does his best to increase the confusion.

I'm a single mom and the father of my children died this last summer and I am struggling. Haven't seen a vacation in years. All I want is a roof over the head for my kids and I.
I’m 46 I live in my mom’s basement, I make $70k a year and can’t afford a home or buy a new car. That used to be good money not to long ago. Thank you Justine

Well that is probably 1 reason why Canadians are broke, or barely have any savings. Going on vacations cost money, and by going on vacations this reduces savings.

Polievre is starting to get more transparent these days. Concerning his own assumptions about who is struggling most while needing a break. More like we need a break most concerning the run around we oftren get around town while if we don't comply up to standards then being sometimes treated verbally in only a quiet enough to remain undetected like trash just for being late. A run around like for example when living up to 100 kilometers away now haing to buy a U pass if we are a student whether we like it or not. A $180.00 pass per term which could buy a lot of gas helping those students to show up in person more often to class on campus. Without having to bring their tents with them.
