Pierre Poilievre: “These taxes do not just punish drivers. They raise the cost of every meal, home and product shipped by truck or train.”

To those people who are thinking about taking out their frustration on the current government by voting for separation and the referendum, I say this: Canada is more than a government, it’s a people, a flag, a land, a history and a promise.

We don’t just take our ball and go home. We don’t walk away. We stand and fight for what we believe in, and we reflect upon all that we have.

My message to Albertans is this: Don’t leave your fellow Canadians behind. Lock arms with them, lock arms with Canadians who want to restore the promise of Canada.

It all means that we have more room to travel, more room to breathe, more room to trade, more room to grow than we would have if we were isolated and alone.
