Faced with months of unfavorable polls, Justin Trudeau has no intention of resigning and is vowing to stay in the next election because of the importance of the issues facing the country.
Speaking to Alec Castonguay at the ICI premiere, where he answered a listener's question about his political future, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exclaimed: But I think about leaving every day!
What I do is a crazy job. Sacrifices on a personal level…I wouldn't be human if I didn't doubt what I do almost every day
The Prime Minister immediately enthusiastically approved.
Being the man that I am, I cannot give up the fight at this point.
But even with all the regulation and the stench of power weighing his boat down, there's no question Justin Trudeau is laying down his arms now.
Democracies are under attack around the world with extreme populism and international attacks. I came into politics for this fight. Not to be popular, not for personal reasons. Because I want to serve and I know I have something to offer
Justin Trudeau insisted.
The choice Canadians will make in an election year will be very fundamental.
Are we a country that chooses to go backwards in the fight against climate change? We need to go back on the rights of women and communities LGBT? Are we going to become a country that invests less in green growth? […] Because that's what conservatives advocate.
The Burden of a Carbon Tax
Among the subjects undermining his government's popularity, the carbon tax is undoubtedly one of the weapons of choice of his political opponents.
Host Alec Castonguay took a quiz to find out if he plans to increase as planned on the 1stR April's carbon tax is $15 per ton of CO2 Despite opposition from seven provinces, Justin Trudeau responded in the affirmative.
Yes, I will keep this rise for the good reason of 3¢ per litre [d’essence] Although it costs more, we reimburse eight out of 10 families in regions that have this plan.
Note that this increase does not affect Quebec or British Columbia, which operate their own pollution tax system.
The principle of the tax is to collect money from polluters and redistribute it in the form of annual checks to Canadian households in participating provinces.
Not only does it fight climate change, spur innovation and improvements in our emissions, but it also puts more money in the pockets of 8 out of 10 families across the country.
Justin Trudeau pleaded.
In an affordability crisis where people are having trouble paying for their groceries, what the Conservatives are proposing is to return more checks to citizens.
It's so easy in politics these days to attack taxes, attack affirmative action, and propose doing nothing.
