Poilievre blames Carney for pipeline delays, says Liberal ‘hidden taxes’ fuelling food costs

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing Prime Minister Mark Carney of stalling a proposed pacific pipeline, saying “there’s only one thing standing in the way of this project, and that’s Mark Carney.” He says approving the project would expand Canada’s market access to billions of Asian consumers and boost jobs at home. Poilievre also linked Carney’s record on affordability to rising grocery costs, claiming Liberal “hidden taxes” are driving up food prices. He’s calling for all federal levies on farm fuel, fertilizer and packaging to be scrapped to help lower costs for Canadians.
