Global oil prices set to skyrocket: What is Trudeau’s plan?

Canadians are looking for relief at the gas pumps. Trudeau is only making it worse.

With Saudi Arabia set to shut down half its crude
production, global oil prices will go through the roof, and take gasoline
prices with them.

What does that mean for you? At the pumps, overnight, you could be paying 12 to
25 cents more for gas.

Canadians just can’t afford that.

The question is: What is Trudeau’s plan?

We know the carbon tax is going up. Trudeau’s
environment minister Cathrine McKenna confirmed it. And just today, Liberal
MP Marco Mendicino refused to
answer questions on how much it will go up.

Yesterday, Conservatives revealed that Trudeau’s carbon tax hike will add 31
cents a litre to the price of gas. So at a time when gas prices are set to
shoot up, Trudeau’s plan is to actually make it worse.

Andrew Scheer and the Conservative will scrap the carbon tax, putting more
money in your pockets so you can get ahead.

This situation of global uncertainty and speculation is also exactly why Canada
needs to build pipelines to get Canadian oil to global markets and to work to
greater energy independence.

We cannot put the bottom line of Canadians at risk.

Andrew Scheer and Canada’s Conservatives have a plan to build a national energy
corridor and to make Canada energy independent by 2030.

Under the Trudeau Liberals, Canada hasn’t built a single inch of pipeline.
Instead, Justin Trudeau levelled a punishing carbon tax, making Canada’s oil
and gas sector less competitive, further driving up the price of gas for
Canadians.

Justin Trudeau has even gone so far as to say he want to “phase-out” Canada’s
oil and gas sector and that high gas prices are “exactly what we want.”

There are a number of Liberal
candidates, running for Justin Trudeau, who are opposed to any oil and gas
development:

Justin Trudeau’s star candidate, Steven Guilbeault, has been on the record a number of times opposing the TMX pipeline expansion.
Estelle Hjertaas, the Liberal candidate in Prince Albert, tweeted “[Justin Trudeau] it’s up to you to say no to Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain” and “False #oilprice narrative used to scare Canadians into accepting Trans Mountain pipeline expansion”
Karina Gould, a Trudeau cabinet minister, tweeted “It’s time to landlock Alberta’s tar sands”

What is Justin Trudeau’s plan to protect Canadian drivers and get Canadian oil
to global markets?
