OTTAWA — If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is counting on his Conservative opponent to offer support as the Liberals navigate a second Donald Trump presidency, he shouldn’t.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has spent the days since the president-elect’s win taking aim at how Trudeau handled his last administration. He lambasted policies like the carbon tax as making Canada less competitive, and said Trudeau was too weak to stop the U.S. from reimposing tariffs on softwood lumber, amid anxieties about Trump’s threat to slap a 10 per cent one on global imports.
