LILLEY: Poilievre ran in favour of carbon taxes multiple times in his ... (Toronto Sun)

The record of all of the Conservative leadership candidates on carbon taxes is not as clear as they would have you believe.

I’m all for debating the pros and cons of carbon taxes, cap-and-trade systems or using regulations to reduce emissions – heck, argue in favour of doing nothing at all if you want to. In the early 2000s, the idea of cap and trade was seen as the Conservative, market-based approach to dealing with carbon emissions. By 2008, though, the promise of a cap-and-trade system was back. Poilievre attacks Charest and Brown as not being real Conservatives in part because of their support for these very same programs that he himself ran under. From supporting a direct-to-consumer carbon tax, as Erin O’Toole did in the last election, to regulating emissions for industries as the Harper government did, to promising a cap-and-trade system. For those with short memories, the most recent example was just last September but it stretches all the way back to Poilievre’s first election in 2004.

Conservatives must unite behind our condemnation of this hate.” In response to charges by Charest that Poilievre supported “border blockades” Poilievre has stated that his support for the convoy was exclusive to peaceful protestors and not those who broke the law. I supported the peaceful and law-abiding truckers who protested for their livelihoods and freedoms while simultaneously condemning any individuals who broke laws, behaved badly or blocked critical infrastructure,” said Poilievre. “Pat King stood in the convoy, and Pat King stood for this.

Poilievre did, however, acknowledge the pain it caused to some businesses. "It was peaceful. "The media depiction was total nonsense. If you watched it on television you would think that it was Armageddon," Poilievre told Peterson, pointing out MPs who condemned the protest were not blocked from accessing the House of Commons. "The `white-replacement' conspiracy theory is peddled by racists and bigots, Conservatives unequivocally condemn this kind of thinking," she said. Poilievre was responding to a tweet by fellow leadership contestant Patrick Brown pointing out that Pat King, a leader of the February "Freedom Convoy"that clogged up the streets surrounding Parliament Hill for weeks, which Poilievre and many other Conservative MPs supported, has spread the conspiracy theory online.

"We've seen the furthering away of many freedoms in the last two years. "Our offshore, we're lucky to have Bay du Nord go ahead." "People feel like they're losing control of their lives." Crosbie said Poilievre's campaign isn't so much as a campaign as it is a movement, a reaction to what Crosbie said was a loss of "many freedoms" over the past two years. "Things haven't felt so free in this country lately, have they?" "I'm here to support a leader, a man who is bidding for leader for the Conservative Party of Canada, who stands for freedom and giving people back control of their lives," Crosbie said after the event.

The danger Pierre Poilievre's corrosive campaign poses to Canada (The Globe and Mail)

The Conservative leadership candidate's burn-the-house-down approach to politics could erode our democratic values.

Of the threat he poses to the country? The reason, I imagine, is that he doesn’t want to alienate his supporters. He’s given licence to what we saw play out in Peterborough – the people mimicking Mr. Poilievre’s plaintive call for freedom. The premise of their anger appears to be the deal he signed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to support the Liberals until 2025. The Ottawa-area MP didn’t organize the protest in Peterborough, but his campaign to become Tory leader has legitimized the anger that was on display there. “Stop the surveillance state,” he tweeted. And there will be blood on many people’s hands. What happened to Mr. Singh while visiting the Peterborough, Ont., campaign headquarters of an NDP candidate in the Ontario election should never be accepted or normalized. Surely, those people in Peterborough were his supporters, at least ideologically. They boasted about being “freedom convoy” folks whose corrosive anger is fuelled by half-baked conspiracy theories and the heated, discordant rhetoric of people like federal Conservative Party of Canada leadership candidate, Pierre Poilievre. If you haven’t seen the video of the incident, you should take a minute to find it. Mr. Singh did not have any security.
