Canadian conservative leader Pierre Poiliervre launched “Canada's first” response to President Donald Trump's tariffs on Monday, borrowing Trump's branding strategy while claiming that his tariffs on Canadian goods are “unfair.”
Part of Poilierbre's strategy includes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's liberal party breaking down by doing “nothing” to make Canada rely on the US economy despite the painfully clear threat of Trump's tariffs.
“They made us helpless,” Poliebre said. I complained Before debuting his own strategy, he blew up the Liberal Party for weakening the Canadian economy with high taxes and heavy regulations that pushed Canadian businesses across the border into the United States.
Poilievre briefly summed up his “Canada's first” plan as “reducing taxes, building houses, modifying budgets, stopping crime.”
The first point was to steadily increase in Trudeau Carbon Tax. The second point was a reference to Canada's housing crisis, where housing costs skyrocketed and banks began offering absurd long mortgages under Trudeau's policy. Conservatives believe An important part of the answer is cutting the deficit to increase the construction of new homes.
Watch – Trump on negotiations with Trudeau: “What's it for” you don't need Canada:
Poilliebre largely rejected President Trump's complaints about Canadian border security and fentanyl smuggling, but admitted that Trudeau's Liberal Party “hasn't done enough with fentanyl.”
Poilierbre said Trump “stabbed an American best friend in the back” with his tariffs.
“This is my message to the president. Canada will fight back,” he said. “We protect our people and our economy and put Canada first.”
“We're sure our economy will suffer,” admitted Poilliebre. “But so are you, President Trump. In fact, you're already paying the price with trillions of dollars, which have erased the stock market value over the last month of these threats.”
Watch – Ah, Canada… Trump threatens Canadian leadership with increased tariffs on US “abuse.”
“Already, Americans are paying higher gas prices in the middle of the night to working-class US taxpayers and drivers as new American gas taxes began,” he said.
Poilliebre predicted that American workers have lost access to Canadian raw materials, “it's become an incredibly ridiculous bargain.”
“And your business will sell fewer products to your nearest neighbors, and that's just the beginning,” he warned.
Poilliebre said Canadians were “slow anger and can be forgiven quickly,” but Trump's tariffs “taunt” them and fought back.”
Speaking to “millions of Canadians who are worried today” after President Trump “attacked” the Canadian economy, conservative opposition leaders promised to fight for their jobs, their families, “the chance to own and pay for their homes” – Trudeau and his liberal excavations fell into largely Trump-guided speeches, with issues of conservative signatures.
“I will fight to make Canada your number one priority,” he promised.
Poilierbre's talented attitude may be from polls showing liberals I'll be back rear A miserable year There they seemed to be in the real danger of running for a conservative 20 points and slipping into third place behind the left-wing New Democrats (NDP).
Some of this poll surge could be due to voters deeming Trudeau far more than disapproving his party.
Some political analysts in both Canada and the US are sure that Trump's tariff threat also plays a role in shaking liberals. Canadians are said to be furious with Trump, and with Trudeau gone, it appears they are trying to look at the Liberal Party again as a party that is likely to fight Trump with both passion and effectiveness.
“People who have been following Canadian politics for a long time can't consider cases where they have seen changes in voting intentions that are as fast and important as what the votes show,” says Professor of Politics at the University of Calgary. I said Washington Post on wednesday.
Poilliebre's remarks on Monday and Tuesday were clearly coordinated to reassure Canadian voters, reminding voters that he is ready to fight Trump and that the Liberals have put Canada in a vulnerable position for that fight.
Poilliebre found himself competing with liberal leaders. The liberal leaders are to convince voters that they can handle Trump far better than the exhausted Pipskeeks who will soon empty the prime minister's office. I suddenly talked about harsh things Trudeau decides that his time hasn't passed.
Trump raised the possibility Social Media Posts Wednesday after a call with Trudeau, which he described as “somewhat friendly.”
“He didn't tell me when the Canadian election was taking place. Then I realized he was trying to use this issue to maintain power. Good luck Justin!” Trump wrote.
