Justin Trudeau defends carbon tax after visit to Saskatchewan farm
GRAY, Sask. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to like farmer Todd Lewis’s combine, but Lewis does not like Trudeau’s carbon tax.
Trudeau happily hopped into a combine during a visit Thursday to the Lewis family’s century-old farm in the community of Gray, south of Regina.
“Glad to see how you guys have developed some amazing ways to succeed,” Trudeau said.
He climbed into a sprayer too, and was told how it uses a GPS so that the nozzles automatically turn off if they overlap to save fertilizer and fuel costs.
