Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been touring northern Ontario this week.
Wednesday night, Poilievre held a rally in Kirkland Lake in front of a packed crowd, anticipating higher interest in the Conservatives amid affordability concerns and disappointment in the Trudeau government.
Judging by the crowd, the Conservative leader appears to have large support in Kirkland Lake and area.
Poilievre’s ‘Axe the Tax’ message is ringing true for his supporters, honing in on the Trudeau government’s failure to adequately address higher costs of living and inflation.
“People can't afford to eat, heat or house themselves and they're supporting my common sense plan to axe the carbon tax, lower income tax and cap spending to bring down inflation and interest rates,” he told the crowd.
While New Democrats put the blame for higher grocery costs on corporations, Poilievre’s message centres on government inaction to lower the cost of production through fuel.
