Pierre Poilievre will be coming to Whitehorse on Sept. 15 after cancelling a rally initially planned for Aug. 24 at the Mt. McIntyre Centre.
Details are few so far, but the rescheduled event is part of the Conservative Party of Canada leader’s Axe the Tax initiative.
The party cancelled the initial event due to the wildfires burning in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.
The event, scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., is listed as being open to the public.
It’s in opposition to the governing Liberals’ carbon-pricing legislation.
Poilievre is in Quebec City today for a party convention.

@Wilf...what we do know is that covering Canada with 50 dollar bills will have zero effect on the globe, other than make Canadians more poor that they are now. PP said that first we must get all coal dependent countries off of coal and onto our clean LNG...that's a start. It by itself is far and above more than anything that the last 8 years have accomplished

So come clean Pierre how are you going to pay for climate change mitigation if you axe the tax?
I always love the biggest hypocritical group there is who profess conservativism but have never run or owned their own business.

Have you noticed the increase in lefty vitriol whenever the Conservatives are doing well in opinion polls? So are they angry with the party or the very many Canadians (the electorate) who support them?

Interesting that over the weekend the Bank of Canada came out with a figure to show the impact of the carbon tax on Canadians! As usual the CONservatives were caught lying as their opposition is not is not designed to help Canadians just do ans end run around their opposition to anything to help the environment. The figure, 0.015% That's going to be a really big help. How about they cancel the GST like Harper promised to do some 20 years ago but as usual the CONservatives lied about that too. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/carbon-tax-inflation-tiff-macklem-calgary-1.6960189

Carbon Tax Joke on Sep 9, 2023 at 4:49 am
YT, you must see how the smoke and mirrors Carbon tax is accomplishing exactly ZERO to do anything about climate change? It has been in place for years now and does less than nothing as we all can see for ourselves this year. The only thing the carbon tax has resulted in is to artificially make it more expensive for people to afford to live. It is certainly not a solution to anything climate related beings as other large countries just keep dumping out their pollution that affects us all. Other countries I might add whose governments don’t take pleasure in penalizing their own citizens unlike how Trudeaus Liberals operate.

Some commentaries here are obviously on Justin's Christmas card list. Justin, who is like a certain leader in Europe during WW2. Justin and the liberal party are destroying Canada and Canadians

Seeing as the moderator would not post my first post lets try another. I welcome Pierre Poilievre to the Yukon and I will be voting for him in the next election.

PP will be a warm welcome to a Territory that is riddled in hypocrisy. Let’s go green, let’s subsidize solar panels, etc etc whilst 17 plus gen sets head up the highway to feed the energy monster. Some peeps here like Pepe and David speak nonsense…he warned the government and the BOC about printing money, he warned of fiscal dysfunction…and he was right and right. You may not like him so what he is what’s best for this country after 8 plus years of international disgrace, fiscal ineptitude, division and arrogance both nationally and territorially the liberal red will be swept into oblivion…people just can’t afford not to.

There are things that we can't accept even if the majority voted for it. European history is full of examples of countries splitting up because of irreconcilable differences. I fear a vote for Pierre is a vote for war.

We need the NDP to launch a wartime-like public effort to fix the housing crisis.

Pierre Poilievre's wife is a real estate speculator, and Pierre Poilievre himself is a bitcoin promoter, a thing Charlie Munger (Warren Buffett's business partner) said the following about: "“I am not proud of my country for allowing this crap — well, I call it crypto s***. It's worthless, it's no good, it's crazy, it'll do nothing but harm, it's antisocial to allow it,” Munger said during a live-streamed interview with CNBC at an event for the Daily Journal.'

I think you mean Trudeau when discussing a slimy, divisive, right-nasty piece of baggage...

Slimey, divisive and a right nasty piece of baggage this one is. If you care not to see it just because you want a change that's your right. Do then remember you have been warned.
Oh ya and those conservative creepers want to open the abortion debate. Canadian law won't stand for this and it's free in Canada and they have to accomodate the woman in need/want when they are asked regardless of their views. This is how Canada works, we are not the states. Remember that too when you think he is the change for Canada

Attendance to these party support events will be a clear indicator to the electorate's present attitudes. Of course media will report the numbers of attendees and maybe even make comparisons to how well the other party shin-digs bring out the faithful...or those shopping for a change.

I would hope that at a minimum home heating fuel be exempt from the carbon tax. I stand to be corrected, but if mining operations are exempt, then surely heating fuel should be.
