Canada’s federal government should find a different way of managing climate change rather than taxing its citizens, a federal Conservative candidate said.

A plan that promotes adaptability to climate change is better, said Megz Reynolds. She is seeking the Conservative Party’s nomination in the riding of Cypress Hills – Grasslands for this year’s federal election.
