Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre pushed back against President-elect Donald Trump’s intent to impose tariffs on Canada, calling on his country to “stand strong” against the United States.

Pierre Poilievre aims to become Canada's prime minister by leveraging Trump's rhetoric and positioning himself as a conservative alternative amid Trudeau's downfall.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre won't say whether he backs the premiers and prime minister's threat to impose export tariffs or restrict the supply of oil and gas bound for the United States as a possible response to president-elect Donald Trump's promised tariff regime.
