The conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is organizing a manifestation of “Canada First” in Ottawa today, since the threats of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, feed an increase in patriotism and change the political landscape to the north of the border.
The event at the Rogers Center, steps from Parliament Hill, reaches the 60th anniversary of Canada that adopts the red and white maple sheet flag. Conservatives are asking attendees to wear red and white clothes.
The threat of Trump of radical tariffs and the continuous talk about annexation have changed the approach of Canadians in recent weeks, as it shows the surveys, with the narrowing of two -digit lead of conservatives.
Pailievre has more prominently emphasized its “Canada first” messaging. He released a video earlier this week in which he said he is encouraging everyone, regardless of his political loyalty, to raise Canadian flags this weekend.
And on Thursday, the party promoted a new announcement with Pailievre’s wife, Anaida, where the Poilievres raise a Canadian flag and talk about working to “bring home the promise of Canada.”
The main motto of Pailievre, which affects the carbon tax, has appeared with less prominence, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when leaving and the candidates who compete to replace it by promising to leave the price of consumer carbon.
Radio-Canada reported earlier this month that conservatives were conducting internal surveys to adapt the party’s message with changing political reality.
The CBC survey tracker shows that although the liberals are closing the gap, most surveys still suggest that conservatives would win a majority government if the elections were held today.
Pailievre and the conservative Caucus met in Ottawa on Friday. The part sent voicemail and text messages urging people in the area to attend the demonstration this afternoon.
Together with a rate of 25 percent on almost all Canadian goods, Trump has repeated The Canadian Prime Ministers in DC
Before the threats of the White House, five former prime ministers asked Canadians to fly the flag in a sample of national unity today.
Joe Clark, Kim Campbell, Jean Chrétien, Paul Martin and Stephen Harper told Canadians to “show the flag as never before”, since the country holds with “threats and insults from Donald Trump.”
“We are going to fly our flag with pride. We show the world that we are proud of our history and proud of our country,” they wrote.
Manufacturers of Canadian flags have reported that sales are emerging in what is normally a slow time of the year.
