Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and newly elected Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre both met with their respective caucuses on Monday, and both had a few choice words for each other.
Poilievre challenged Trudeau to refrain from raising taxes and Trudeau criticizing Poilievre’s use of dogwhistles and divisive rhetoric.
“We’ve been making every effort to work with all parliamentarians, and we will continue to do so,” he said Monday. “But this doesn’t mean that we’re not going to be calling out highly questionable, reckless economic ideas. What Canadians need is responsible leadership.” “When Conservative politicians say we should fight inflation with more pollution, this team will remind them that climate change is real, and that real people are affected by the floods and wildfires that it aggravates.”
He also staunchly rejected Poilievre’s framing of government spending, saying “it was the smart thing to do."
