Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced his party will be kicking off a “massive nationwide campaign” to overturn the federal government’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate, which he said will harm automakers, farmers, and rural communities.
Speaking to reporters in Saskatchewan on Aug. 14, Poilievre said the campaign will include motions in the House of Commons, press conferences and events at car dealerships across Canada, petitions, and “pressure campaigns” in Liberal-held ridings.
