Carbon tax protest in Lloydminster enters second week
Sheila Gunn Reid reports from the Saskatchewan/Alberta border, where a carbon protest on the Saskatchewan side of the border has entered its second consecutive week.
The demonstration against the hike in Trudeau's inflationary tax on everything began April 1, as the Liberals so-called "price on pollution" jumped from $65 per tonne to $80 per tonne.

The protest in Lloydminster on private land on the Saskatchewan side of the border city has been entirely peaceful although there were some tense interactions with local RCMP early on.

Although there was a tense standoff with police early in the protest, the conflict ended without arrests and the demonstration has been entirely peaceful.

Protesters told Rebel News they vow to stay "as long as it takes" to make Prime Minister Justin Trudeau listen to their concerns; they cannot afford a tax.
