The plan should scrap gas taxes until Canada Day, have zero capital gains tax on reinvesting in Canada, end the industrial carbon tax, green-light the 500 projects waiting for federal permits, and have ZERO sales tax on Canadian-made cars.
Instead of responding to stunts and distractions, Canadians must stay focused on what we can control: making our economy strong and affordable at home and using our leverage to fight tariffs abroad.
I’m very concerned about the deindustrialization of our country if our key industries pay one-sided tariffs.
