The Federal Conservatives continued their push for the South Okanagan - West Kootenay riding with a visit from MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay, the representative for South Surreysa国际传媒擶hite Rock and Chief Opposition Whip.

Findlay, and about a dozen Conservative supporters sa国际传媒� including potential Conservative candidates Gary Johal, Dan Ashton, and Chris Pequin sa国际传媒� set up in front of current NDP MP Richard Canningssa国际传媒� constituency office.

The rally is part of a national effort by the Conservatives to go after NDP and Liberal MPs who voted to support an increase to the carbon tax. The campaignsa国际传媒檚 simple phrases of sa国际传媒楽pike the Hikesa国际传媒� and sa国际传媒楢xe the Taxsa国际传媒� were present both on signs and in Findlaysa国际传媒檚 speech.

Findlay pointed to recent polling that found a majority of Canadians opposed an increase to the carbon tax, alongside opposition from provincial leaders.

When pressed on how Conservatives would take on the battle against climate change, which has worsened conditions that contributed to wildfires and deep freezes that have devastated local businesses, Findlay had to be asked multiple times for a concrete example.

Findlay responded by stating Conservatives would support green innovation by pushing liquid natural gas usage and export and cited an Edmonton company that turns plastic waste into burnable gas instead of putting it into landfills.

Findlaysa国际传媒檚 visit, and other similar events against MPs who supported the carbon tax, brought up a question about how campaign-focused the Conservatives appear to be given an election is still likely more than a year away instead of working towards alternative solutions with other members of parliament.

Findlay stated that as Chief Opposition Whip, she cooperates and works to make sure issues in Parliament are able to move forward smoothly, but that there is no appetite for cooperation or finding common ground with the other parties on issues.

sa国际传媒淲e will never cooperate with a costly coalition that keeps taking money out of the pockets of Canadians and pushing it to these bureaucratic mills as I call them,sa国际传媒� said Findlay.

sa国际传媒淐anadians should feel that when they go to work they should keep the money they earn. They should pay their taxes, nobodysa国际传媒檚 complaining about that, but they should keep a healthy enough portion that they can afford to live, so we will never cooperate with that.sa国际传媒�
