Poilievre says Tories will not support 'any new tax increases' in 1st caucus speech as leader | FULL

In his first speech to the Conservative caucus since securing the leadership, Pierre Poilievre demanded that Prime Minister Trudeau not raise taxes “on workers and seniors.”

Poilievre was elected leader of the Conservative Party of Canada with a resounding first-ballot victory, garnering 68 per cent support.

Poilievre told members that under his leadership the Tories would “work with any party” but said he would “not support any new tax increases.”

“We will fight tooth and nail to stop the coalition (with the NDP) from introducing any,” he added.

During his speech to members, Poilievre highlighted the increasing cost of living facing many Canadians as they contend with rising inflation.

Listen very carefully to what he said near the end - "where the state is servant, and the people are the masters". This is a politician who understands his role.

They’re going to make a great First Family of Canada.

I voted for Trudeau..big mistake. Will be voting conservative next election.

This guy is such a breath of fresh air I thought for sure we’d never see the day that someone logical and intelligent (and functional in any regard) would be able to get a word in and have any platform at all without being surrounded by ridiculous rhetoric and craziness! I fear for our financial future, nothing ‘anyone else’ does makes any sense. Tax tax tax and problems on top of problems. It’s time we had a government that offered real viable solutions to our problems as Canadians not their problems they face for their own goals that aren’t in the best interest of Canada, Canadians or our actual future and financial future.

What a breath of fresh air. Unlike some trust fund baby with the political depth of a finger bowl.

Who else got smile on their face when Pierre Poilevre cut the cake 🎂 as he was holding his son!

[MPascolin]

Trudeau is still learning to speak compared to Pierre who is capable of non scripted normal human interactions

[johnhess]

We need Trudeau gone and an actual leader to step up. It's exciting to have a little hope for the country again.

[shanti]

An intelligent, articulate, fearless, unapologetic leader. He will makes us proud on the world stage. Pierre will win the next election.

[jashley]

He’s almost too good to be true! God I hope he is the real deal! 🙏🏼

[MTGoddard]

Thank God for this beautiful gift, have you to fight for us. Congratulations for Cruz First birthday 🎂 and Congratulations to you too.

[dizzle]

Wow so many positive comments. I'm loving it.

[donniebahama]

this man makes me have hope for this country...i can feel the dark doom and gloom liberal clouds parting. Long done with a pm who talks to people like they are 5 year olds and long done with identity politics and woke agendas, just want someone who can manage the shop (our shop) for everyone of all stripes and keep Canada 'strong and free'.

I am a Muslim, person of color and a new immigrant, and Pierre has my vote!
