Mr. Speaker, after nine years, the NDP-Liberal coalition is alive and well, and Canadians know it is not worth the cost.
Do members remember when the NDP leader made a big stunt of ripping up his deal with the Liberals? As he said then, “Liberals are too weak, too selfish and too beholden to corporate interests to fight for people.” However, now, even when Liberal MPs are calling for a new Prime Minister, the NDP leader continues to support the government no matter the cost.
He supports the carbon tax, which he has voted to increase over 24 times. He supports inflationary deficits, which are driving up the cost of living. He supports soft-on-crime policies, which have increased violent crime by 50% across the country. He has also said that he would “fight like hell” for Canadian workers but is nowhere to be seen when we are facing the threat of American tariffs.
It is time for a carbon tax election so that Canadians can vote for our Canada first plan to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime.
