“I, Erin O’Toole, promise that, if elected Prime Minister of Canada, I will: Immediately repeal the Trudeau carbon tax; and, reject any future national carbon tax or cap-and-trade scheme.” — A Canadian Taxpayers Federation pledge signed by Erin O’Toole when soliciting support for his bid to lead the Conservative party.
Rex Murphy: Last seen falling off his horse on the road to Green Damascus, Erin O’Toole is thought by many to be the leader of a party known as Conservative.
After being kindly helped back on the animal by Elizabeth May and Catherine McKenna, both of whom happened to be in the area, Mr. O’Toole declared he will put a levy on all Canadians purchasing such carbon-based fuels as gasoline or diesel.
Another bit of research might be useful, too. Has O’Toole made it clear where he stands on pipelines? It would be perfectly synchronous for a leader who favours a carbon tax for Canada, who’s fully signed on to the global warming industry, to oppose and suspend, for the same obsessional cause, the Trans Mountain pipeline extension. It would also hold that he would be resolutely determined there should never be a pipeline to the East, and indifferent to the oil and gas industry and the thousands who work in it. Finally, it suggests he is no friend to the province of Alberta, which gifted his party with 33 of his MPs. The voters of Saskatchewan are very likely shedding tears for their choices as well.
