It usually is:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his goal is not to win a popularity contest as he doubled down on his government’s carbon tax despite calls from Conservatives and seven premiers, including Canada’s lone Liberal premier, asking him to halt the planned increase on April 1.
Oh, you were NEVER popular, Justin.
It isn't just his arrogance or his firm belief that he is the first best thing to come out of Nazareth talking. He truly can't afford not to have that precious revenue that comes from taxes.
This country is broke.
Justin the Great Divider:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters today he believes Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey is "continuing to bow to political pressure" in his opposition to an anticipated increase next month to carbon costs.
His comments come after Furey publicized a letter he wrote to Trudeau on Monday asking the prime minister to halt the increase on carbon pricing set for April 1, as people in the province struggle with the cost of living.
Furey has spoken out about carbon pricing in the past, joining his fellow Atlantic premiers in calls to exempt home heating from the pricing regime, and to extend the deadline for provinces to submit their own plans.
Nonetheless, the province's Opposition Progressive Conservatives have tried to link Furey to the so-called carbon tax, tweeting Wednesday that they stood with the federal Conservatives in "calling on the Trudeau and Furey Liberals" to "spike the hike."

As a growing number of premiers urge the federal government to scrap an upcoming increase to the federal carbon tax, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pushed back on what he called "short-term thinker" politicians and defended his government's deeply divisive policy.
And what are those plans, Mr. No Business Case?
One would think that Justin would try to persuade the dissenters from the hugely unpopular carbon tax, but Justin doesn't do that.
As he is petty and vindictive, he call them names behind their backs and does not provide workable solutions himself.
What a fruit loop.

Behind every cowering man-child is a strong woman:
Alberta’s premier called Wednesday for the federal environment minister to be replaced, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is backing Steven Guilbeault in the role.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault yesterday skipped a summons for questioning by the Commons transport committee despite two weeks’ notice. MPs had sought to cross-examine Guilbeault over his remarks that Canada had enough roads and didn’t need more: “He is now refusing to answer questions.”

Trudeau stands beside the porch pirate & tells Canadians he’s making a better future for the next generation while trying hard not to laugh when saying how great Guilbeault is.

Birds of a feather, as they say.
