Poilievre accuses Trudeau of "exploiting" wildfires to distract from "high-interest rate policies"

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre went toe-to-toe with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on debating the Bank of Canada’s interest rate hike Wednesday during question period.

“Tonight, families will sit down with their kids at their dining room table to say ‘sorry, but we have to sell the house because mortgage payments are going to go up by as much as $1,500 per month,” Poilievre said of Wednesday’s rate hike.

“Has he really sunken to the low of exploiting these fires for political gain to distract from his inflationary and high-interest rate policies,” Poilievre said in response to Trudeau as the two leaders went back and forth on the economy.

“He has no plan to fight climate change – he still questions whether it exists – while Canada is burning!” Trudeau shouted to the roaring applause of the Liberal gallery.
