Tory leader Scheer makes campaign stop in Barrhaven By Charlie Senack
As the federal election draws near, the three main party leaders aren’t wasting any time getting into campaign mode. On Wednesday, August 21, Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer was in Barrhaven for the opening of Brian St. Louis’ campaign office, the Conservative Party candidate for the riding Nepean. There, Scheer talked to a few hundred local Conservatives about his vision for Canada if he is elected Canada’s 24th Prime Minister. The main focus, Scheer said, is to add more money into Canadians pockets. The Conservatives have recently launched a new slogan titled, “it’s time for you to get ahead.” “We know that Canadians are facing a cost of living crunch, that life is getting less and less affordable,” he told the crowd of Nepean Conservatives. “A big reason for that is (Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau’s own policies. He has imposed a carbon tax on Can-
adians that is making everything more expensive from gasoline, to home heating and groceries — all while doing absolutely nothing for emissions.” If the Conservatives are to form government after the October election, Scheer says his first focus would be to get a piece of legislation passed in an effort to repeal the federally imposed carbon tax — which was brought in by the Trudeau Liberal government in 2018, as a way to cut greenhouse emissions and save the environment. Scheer says taxes aren’t the answer. Instead he’d like to offer a green home tax credit which would give homeowners financial compensation for upgrading parts of their home, such as replacing their furnace or getting new windows installed. “We have a real plan that focuses on technology, not taxes, and taking the climate change fight global,” Scheer said. “That will reduce your energy costs and have a real impact on reducing emissions.
