Juno News - Trudeau wants to tax your pickup truck

00:00:00.000 So tell us about your report. Tell us about this new pickup truck tax the Truro government is

00:00:04.880 trying to, I don't know, sneak by or sneak in or what his plans he's scheming about introducing

00:00:11.560 this tax. For sure. So I first saw an inkling of this in Blacklock's reporter, and it was around

00:00:19.100 a month ago or so. And they mentioned it was a very brief posting that they had on their website.

00:00:23.760 They said, hey, there's this advisory panel to the prime minister that is recommending,

00:00:28.540 among other things, a levy on pickup trucks. I'm like, that's kind of interesting. And so because

00:00:36.000 of my experience on Parliament Hill, I know that these so-called advisory boards often have a lot

00:00:41.780 of clout in Ottawa. So I started digging around on the Environment Canada webpage. Sure enough,

00:00:48.600 right there in the official report, I'm talking the 2030 emissions reductions plan published by

00:00:55.440 the Ministry of Environment with a foreword from Minister Guibo calling it a roadmap was right

00:01:02.440 there. Recommendation. It was on page 192. And word for word, it included the recommendation to

00:01:08.720 remove the exemption for the green levy so that it also affects vehicles like pickup trucks.
