Emergency climate lockdown9/11/2023 O’Toole also pledged to offer loans of up to $200,000 to small and medium-sized businesses. The incentive dubbed the “Rebuild Main Street tax credit” would allow individuals who invest up to $100,000 in a small business to claim a 25 per cent tax break over the next two years. O’Toole’s campaign stop in Saint-Hyacinthe, Que., also saw the Tory leader propose a tax credit he said is meant to help small businesses bounce back from losses incurred during pandemic-related lockdowns. “That’s the choice that Erin O’Toole needs to make right now around Cheryl Gallant and all of these conspiracy theories being peddled. If he tells them that vaccines are safe and secure and demonstrates with real leadership, how we’re going to move forward as a country to be safer, to be better and more prosperous.” “Perhaps they will listen to Erin O’Toole if he tells them that climate change is real. “We know they don’t listen to me,” he said. On Sunday, Trudeau pointed to the noisy crowd trying to intimidate and drown out his event as proof O’Toole needed to condemn Gallant’s comments to show her supporters and protesters that they are wrong. O’Toole has denounced the angry crowds that have dogged Trudeau, and told four Conservative volunteers who appeared in the crowd in Bolton Friday that they were no longer welcome in the campaign. “I’m proud to run on Canada’s Recovery Plan, in its entirety,” she wrote, referencing the name of the Conservative platform. The only response came from a tweet she sent Sunday evening. Gallant did not immediately respond to request for comment. “We’re not running on things that were said five months ago, five years ago,” he said. In another instance during the interview, O’Toole said each of his party’s candidates supports the plan he’s put forward, which includes a plan to tackle climate change.Įarlier Sunday, he said Canadians are tired of lockdowns and reiterated his focus is on talking to residents about his party’s plan to help the country’s economy recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. “I have expectations of all our candidates… that they have a positive approach to the campaign,” he said in French. In an interview on Radio-Canada on Sunday evening, O’Toole was pressed to say whether he denounced Gallant’s statements, but he once again skirted the issue. O’Toole was asked multiple times Sunday if he agreed with Gallant’s statements or the anti-climate change sentiment behind them and did not once answer the question. Gallant also sent correspondence to her constituents before the election started, asking them if they were in favour of a “climate lockdown.” If they did, they might realize Trudeau’s a con man and climate change may be his biggest grift,” she said. “Trudeau is counting on Liberal-minded Canadians not looking too closely at his agenda. “How long do you think it will take before the Trudeau Liberals start calling for a climate lockdown?” Gallant asks in the video. Gallant’s version had cropped the image so it was not clear that Trudeau was holding the cord himself. The original photo clearly shows that Trudeau is holding the cord himself, and that it is a lanyard attached to a plastic ID badge. Hann said the photo Gallant used was one Trudeau had posed for himself, recreating a 1968 image of his father, prime minister Pierre Trudeau, who had pretended to hang himself with his own tie at a press club event. Their actions were deemed a threat too great to proceed with Trudeau’s planned rally in Bolton, Ont., Friday and delayed his Sunday event in Cambridge, Ont., for more than hour as they surrounded his campaign buses shouting slurs and profanity.Īt the Cambridge event, one person carried a sign with a manipulated picture of Trudeau about to be executed by hanging. The events Hann referred to were angry crowds of anti-Trudeau agitators who have disrupted his campaign events in recent days, often hurling expletives and threatening violence. Gallant is running for re-election in the Ottawa Valley riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke for the eighth time. “In light of events unfolding today, it’s understandable how this photo can be misconstrued without context,” party spokesman Cory Hann said in an email. Federal Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole did not distance himself Sunday from comments made by a longtime member of his caucus who warned constituents the Liberals are preparing for a “climate lockdown.”īut the party later said Cheryl Gallant has removed a video she posted in June that included a photo of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau appearing to have some sort of noose around his neck.
