Poilievre hits at Carney while responding to Trump tariffs

Poilievre is in Kingston, Ont., to make an announcement, but first addressed Trump’s tariff announcement from last night.

“Yesterday, many Canadians watched with anger and anxiety as President Trump once again attacked our country and our jobs,” said Poilievre.

“Until yesterday, many Canadians, including me, still held out hope that President Trump might come to his senses and spare us from additional tariffs,” he added.

The Conservative leader then took aim at his Liberal opponent, suggesting that the phone call between Carney and Trump last week was not actually as productive as the two had said it was.

“Unfortunately, Canada has not been spared. There is no progress. And there was nothing constructive or productive about Trump’s tariff announcement.”

Those were the words used by French President Emmanuel Macron to describe Trump’s tariffs.
