Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will not change its key policies in response to U.S. tariff threats, saying that the Tories’ proposed policies related to cutting taxes and promoting energy projects are now “even more correct.”
In a Feb. 18 social media post, Poilievre reiterated his policies of cancelling the federal carbon tax and the capital gains tax hike; approving more pipeline construction and repealing Bill C-69, sometimes called the No More Pipelines Act; and “celebrating, not cancelling, our history.”
