“Pierre grew up in Alberta and was raised knowing how valuable the West is to the country. Like me, Pierre has been fighting to unleash Canada’s energy, build resource projects and get our oil and gas to market. Since he first became a Member of Parliament in 2004, Pierre has been championing Canadian energy and he will continue to do that as the next Member of Parliament for Battle—River Crowfoot.
“Pierre will also fight for tax relief. In the recent federal election, Pierre was the only Party Leader with a real plan to make life more affordable by cutting the capital gains tax, cutting income tax by 15%, removing the sales tax on new homes and allowing seniors to keep more of their income tax free. In the same way I do, Pierre believes that a dollar in the hand of someone who earned it is better spent than by the government who taxed it.
“Yesterday, Danielle and I brought Pierre to our family farm and we discussed how important farming and rural values are to this region. Pierre gets it. He has traveled across this country and has spent a lot of time in rural communities, speaking with farmers and in agriculture and livestock. He knows how valuable our way of life is and he will defend it. He will be an advocate for farmers, protect our hunters and be a defender for our way of life.
“I am confident that as an Albertan, Conservative Party Leader, Pierre Poilievre, will be a strong voice for the West and the people of Battle—River Crowfoot. I look forward to him joining me back in the riding soon where I will introduce him to our wonderful communities across the region.”
