The Tory leader warned municipalities they must approve more growth or face financial consequences

In his 10-minute speech among supporters at aggregate hauling business Superior Stone Slinger Service, Poilievre railed against government spending and inflation and promised to crack down on drugs and crime, lower taxes, improve port security, axe the carbon tax and “build, build, build” more housing.

In an interview, Poilievre acknowledged that as prime minister he would not be able to unilaterally remove the provincial tax, but he said he would open that door. Faced with another daunting wildfire season in B.C., Poilievre said we need better forest management and firefighting capability, but he said when it comes to curbing Canada’s carbon emissions, he would look to “technology and not taxes.”

“If they beat the target, they’ll get building bonuses and if they miss the target, they’ll pay fines,” he said.
