Summary

Justin Trudeau is playing political games and the only person that's winning is himself. He has shown again that whenever he acts, it's only when his political future is at risk. And that's what he's done now. With the announcement of putting a pause on the carbon tax for Atlantic provinces, that's going to give much needed relief to those in the Atlantic provinces. But really, we live in a cold country and everyone is worried about the cost of keeping their homes warm this winter. That's why new Democrats are calling for the GST to be taken off of home heating for all Canadians.
