Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poièvre on Monday condemned radical leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's announcement that he would relinquish leadership of the country and the Liberal Party, saying the Liberal Party would remain in power and continue Trudeau's policies. He dismissed it as a “trick” meant to do something.
“Nothing has changed,” Poièvre wrote in a social media message. “The Liberal MPs and leadership candidates have all supported everything Prime Minister Trudeau has done for nine years, and now they're swapping faces for another Liberal party to fool voters and do yet another 4 like Justin. They've been trying to deceive Canadians for years.”
“The only way to right what the Liberals have broken is a carbon tax election to elect a common-sense Conservative party who will bring back Canada's promise,” he argued.
Poiivre called for an election to be held “now” rather than the one scheduled for October to end the Liberal Party's majority in parliament.
“Canadians anxious to turn the page on this dark chapter in our country's history may be relieved that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is finally stepping down today. But what really has changed? ” Poièvre asked in an accompanying video message. “Every Liberal MP currently in power and every potential Liberal leadership candidate fighting for the top job helped Justin Trudeau defeat the country over the past nine years. All of them. Liberal politicians worked aggressively to legislate a job-killing and inflationary carbon tax.
“All of them voted for or actively supported Prime Minister Trudeau's out-of-control spending, debt and immigration,” he said. “Everyone passed Prime Minister Trudeau's housing policy that doubled home prices.''
Poièvre said Liberal MPs want Trudeau to resign not because they “feel guilty” about his policies, but because “he is no longer popular enough to win an election and remain in power.” He argued that this is because there is no such thing.
“They want to protect their pensions and paychecks by cleaning up a hated leader months before an election, cheating, and starting over again,” the Conservative leader said. Everything is out of control,” he concluded. Now is the election for a carbon tax. ”
