Susan Delacourt: Donald Trump is no friend to progressives in Canada, to state the obvious. But I’m sure I’m not the only person wondering these days how much of a pal he is to Canadian conservatives, both provincially and federally.
Trump’s 30-day reprieve of tariffs on Canadian imports kind of pulled the rug out from Doug Ford’s whole provincial election pitch to Ontarians, who will now vote on Feb. 27 without any clue on what Trump will do next. Meanwhile, polls are showing that Pierre Poilievre and the federal Conservatives are taking a hit in popularity as Canadians shift their attention to who’s best to deal with the havoc Trump is wreaking. So my question to you, Matt: is it time for Poilievre’s team to get nervous?
People are waking up to the fact the elite and their media have ginned up a TDS patriotism to distract from the LPC-NDP reign of error.
