Pierre Poilievre rejects criticism that his campaign isn’t focused on Donald Trump
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is rejecting criticism that he is running a misguided federal election campaign that isn’t responding to Canadians’ anxieties about U.S. President Donald Trump.
At a campaign stop in Saint John, N.B. on Monday, Poilievre defended his focus on the alleged damage of a “lost Liberal decade” — from the increased cost of housing and groceries to thousands of drug overdose deaths in recent years — and said he has been talking for the past decade about what needs to be done to fortify Canada against American economic aggression.
