Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says his government doesn't plan to add a tax to pickups. (CBC)

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said the Conservatives are lying about a secret government plan to add a green tax to pickup trucks.

There have been several tweets from Tory MPs, the Conservative party and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney in recent days insisting the government is about to extend a federal green levy to pickups.

"This so-called fee on trucks doesn't exist," Guilbeault said Wednesday, in a tweet responding to Conservative MP and leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre.

1. So Liberals are responsible for every recommendation to them

even if they decide to not follow ?

2. These days you can basically make something up and once it hits

social media or media in general it becomes reality. If you are slimy enough you can actually make a living doing this - lots of examples these days. I guess it beats working for a living?

3. So this is great ammo to punk your conservative friends with.

4. Cons pushing fear again by fake news. . . . nt
