An existing trade agreement between Canada and Ukraine was set to be updated and ratified, and PP+Cons all voted against it - PP's reasoning was:
Quote:
Poilievre says the Tories “stand unequivocally with Ukrainians in their fight for freedom,” and that he is not against previous iterations of the agreement.
But he claimed Trudeau was “betraying Ukraine with this terrible agreement to force a carbon tax on Ukrainians.”
Railing against the federal price on carbon is nothing new for the Conservative leader, who counts “axe the tax” among his most-used slogans.
“Just to show you how pathologically obsessed Trudeau is with his tax, he did something that has never been done in the history of trade agreements, which is to put a carbon tax in one,” Poilievre told reporters Thursday.
“He expects (Ukrainians) to rebuild from a war with a devastating and crippling tax on their energy. The Ukrainian farmers, he expects them to pay a carbon tax while they’re trying to feed their hungry people. This is cruel and frankly, it is disgusting that Trudeau’s ideological obsession with taxing working-class people, seniors and suffering families has come ahead of what should have been a free-trade agreement.”

Except that simply isn't true, and Ukraine has had a carbon tax longer than Canada has.
Spew spew spew, very little facts coming out, mostly just catch phrases to rile up the morons in this country. No actual platform, no alternative solutions, just Trudeau is bad, Trudeau doesn't get anything done, but also Trudeau is evil and is making things worse for everyone.
It's terribly similar to what republicans do with Joe Biden - he's old and senile and useless, but he's also an authoritarian with nefarious reach in every aspect of society who is solely responsible for their shitty lives.
