‘He understands Canadians’: Inside what ‘axe the tax’ means to Poilievre’s supporters
OTTAWA — When Sarah Morin hears the phrase “axe the tax,” what enters her mind is “freedom.”
The 41-year-old is a stay-at-home mother of two who has been using a food bank amid cost-of-living pressures.
She was among those who packed into a crammed room at a convention centre near Ottawa’s airport on Sunday to listen to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre speak.
His signature cause: The party’s long-standing vow to “axe” the Liberal government’s consumer carbon price.
