Carney can’t control Trump, Poilievre says at rally
Poilievre started his rally in Brampton, Ont., by addressing Trump’s actions today.
He described the decision to leave tariffs on Canada intact as “the latest disrespect by President Trump of our country.”
The crowd booed when Poilievre said, “almost every country in the world got a pause on American tariffs, but not us — America’s best friend.”
“This, after Prime Minister Carney boasted that he had a, quote, productive phone call with the president,” the Conservative leader told the crowd.
“Prime Minister Carney is running his entire campaign on a false promise: that he can control the president through magical, masterful negotiating techniques. Well, we know now that that is not true. Nobody can control this president,” Poilievre said.
Poilievre then said that while he would move “quickly to negotiate” with Trump, he’d also “focus on what we can control,” which is to “reverse the disastrous Liberal economic policies of the last 10 years that made us so dependent on America firstly.”
