Pierre is a man of the little guy! Wrong!
He is courting the financial and oil industry elite in exclusive fundraisers in Banff and promising them he will let them keep emitting massive amounts of carbon and fleecing consumers and taxpayers whenever they can.
Its nice work if you can get it.
Poilievre who has never had a real job outside of politics, collects his $300,000 per year salary and says he wants to stand up for the little guy on affordability, while he courts elite oil excutives who took home massive profits and bonuses from high oil and gas prices? Priceless! The irony and sludge runs deep!
"For the past year and a half an industry group called the Pathways Alliance has been running national ads claiming oil sands producers are climate leaders “on the road to net zero.”
But federal records newly reviewed by DeSmog reveal that the group’s co-founder has personally donated to the Conservative Party of Canada, whose leader Pierre Poilievre is campaigning to abolish ([url]https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-non-confidence-motion-carbon-tax-1.7149637[/url]) the country’s most prominent climate policy, a nationwide tax on carbon emissions, saying it brings “misery and suffering on the Canadian people.”
Alex Pourbaix, executive chairman of the Calgary-based oil sands company Cenovus, made a $1,600 donation to the Conservative Party the day after attending a private fundraiser ([url]https://www.elections.ca/fin/reg/pdfs/295-report.pdf[/url]) last year entitled “An evening with Pierre Poilievre,” contributions data on the Elections Canada site show. The maximum allowable donation was $1,700."
The fundraising event, which was originally reported on by The Breach ([url]https://breachmedia.ca/poilievre-fundraiser-lobbyist-conservatives/[/url]), took place at a private residence in the mountain resort town Banff, Alberta, on April 11, 2023. It was promoted by ([url]https://web.archive.org/web/20230405174355/https:/www.conservative.ca/events/[/url]) the Conservative Party as a “Bring it Home fundraiser with Pierre Poilievre.”?
