Poilievre Makes Misleading Claims About Canada-Ukraine Trade Deal and Niagara Incident
- Poilievre falsely claims the Canada-Ukraine trade deal forces Ukraine to adopt a carbon tax, but Ukraine says the deal includes no such provision
- The deal contains vague language about cooperating on carbon pricing, but trade experts say this does not bind Ukraine to a carbon tax
- Poilievre called the nonexistent provision "cruel" and "disgusting" towards Ukrainians trying to rebuild
- Poilievre also misleadingly referred to media reports of the Niagara Falls vehicle explosion being terrorism when those reports came after his remarks
- The article notes Poilievre likes to attack when pressed to explain things, though he demands corrections from others
