Doug Ford departed from his usual support of Liberal policies, promising that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would be voted out unless he cancels his carbon tax which increased 23 percent on April 1.
Beginning the morning of April 1, the Trans-Canada highway was partially blocked as thousands of Canadians across the nation came out in protest of Trudeau's carbon tax.
The Conservative Party's non-confidence motion was introduced in an attempt to oust the Trudeau government over its refusal to scrap its April 1 carbon tax hike.
Pierre Poilievre's pledge for a motion of non-confidence comes as Trudeau continues to refuse to pause his April 1 carbon tax hike despite 70% of Canadians and 70% of provincial premiers opposing the increase.
The premiers of Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Alberta have called on Trudeau to pause the carbon tax hike scheduled for April 1st.
