In a recent press conference, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre outlined his vision for Canada’s economic future, focusing on resource development and job creation. He criticized the Liberal government for blocking key projects like LNG Canada through policies such as C-69 and an industrial carbon tax, which he claims have hindered economic growth and increased dependence on the U.S. Poilievre emphasized that under a Conservative government, resource projects would be fast-tracked with a streamlined approval process, creating jobs and boosting Canada’s economy.
He also proposed measures to support seniors, including delaying RRSP withdrawals for two years to protect savings amid market volatility and raising the tax-free earning limit to $34,000. Poilievre called for Canada to move quickly to take advantage of its energy resources, arguing that the country has significant advantages over competitors like the U.S. and Qatar. He reaffirmed his commitment to expanding LNG projects, rejecting the Liberals’ push to electrify the plants, which he believes would make them unviable. Poilievre concluded by stressing the need for a change in government to secure Canada’s economic independence and prosperity.
