TORONTO—The carbon tax was the main focus of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s campaign-like rally in Toronto over the weekend, drawing around 2,500 supporters to the Liberal-held riding of Etobicoke North.

Ontario resident Kathy Katula, who joined Mr. Poilievre on stage, shared an encounter she had with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a 2017 town hall meeting where she had famously pleaded with him to help address the rising cost of heating her home due to the Liberal government’s carbon tax.
