According to a new poll released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), a whopping 59% of Canadians oppose the federal government’s push to ban the sale of new gas and diesel vehicles by 2035, while only 29% support this drastic move.

CTF federal director Franco Terrazzano didn’t hold back, stating, “Canadians are sending a loud and clear message: they don’t want the government banning new gas and diesel vehicles. Families still want to buy gas-powered minivans and diesel trucks, and they know this ban will cost them big.”

Trudeau’s plan could unleash a financial nightmare for taxpayers, with massive costs for electric vehicle subsidies, charging infrastructure, and new power plants. The Leger poll, commissioned by the CTF, shows that when considering only Canadians who have made up their minds, 67% are firmly against the federal ban.

“Prime Minister Trudeau is racing ahead with this ban, while ignoring the immense burden it will place on taxpayers,” said Terrazzano. “Your tax dollars will be funneled into this expensive green agenda, and Canadians have every right to be concerned about soaring tax and electricity bills.”
