Poilievre would rather 'watch country burn' than fight climate change: Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre's pledges to axe carbon pricing come amid wildfires and other disasters. He says Poilievre would rather "watch the country burn" than continue the fight against climate change. Poilievre calls for a "vacation" from carbon pricing from the Victoria Day long weekend to Labour Day. Trudeau says scrapping the price on carbon would also mean the end of rebate cheques that most families receive. (May 16, 2024)
