François Legault is leading a “negative publicity” campaign inspired by the strategy of former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, according to Québec solidaire (QS) spokesperson Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. Solidarity is “dogmatic” with their “orange taxes”, said the head caquiste for his part.
Passing through Montreal on Saturday, Mr. Nadeau-Dubois accused Mr. Legault of dipping into Stephen Harper’s strategic little book by distributing leaflets against “the orange tax”. The leader of the Coalition avenir Québec (CAQ) is on the “defensive”, according to him. “Distributing leaflets to smear Québec solidaire will not convince Quebeckers to vote for François Legault. »
On day 21 of the election campaign, the outgoing Prime Minister again attacked the “orange taxes” of solidarity training, such as that of 15% on gas-guzzling vehicles.
Just like Thursday, during the leaders’ debate, Mr. Legault took the example of a buyer of a family van who should pay $7,500. Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois “tells us that it will not apply in all regions, but he does not yet know which region. Will it apply to Rivière-du-Loup? “, he questioned, passing through this city for a militant dinner.
The idea of granting an exemption from this tax to Quebecers who can prove that they need a van does not hold water, according to the chief caquiste. “Do you see that, in each municipality there will be a committee of citizens who will decide whether you pay the $7,500 or not. That is Québec solidaire. »
