The conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that it is a very suitable “hard guy” to face the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and that is why the US leader said that he believes that it is easier to “deal with a liberal” in Canada than a conservative.
The comment occurs as Pailievre and its main opponent, Prime Minister Mark Carney, both Jockey to present himself as the Anti-Trump candidate in the next federal elections, which is expected to be dominated by the conversation of the president’s punishment rates and the annexationist teasing.
Speaking to journalists in Sudbury, Ontario, Pailievre turned Trump’s comments as a support of Carney and a sign that the president “wants the liberals in power.”
He said the president wants “weak, committed and conflicting leadership … That’s why he approved Mark Carney yesterday.”
Trump did not mention Pailievre or Carney by name in his comments or formally support anyone.
The conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was asked on Wednesday about Donald Trump’s recent comment that “would rather deal with a liberal than a conservative,” he said he believes that the president of the United States wants the liberals in power because “they will keep this weak country.”
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump was pressed why he has been harder in Canada with his tariffs and threats than some of the “adversaries” of the United States.
The president said, without explaining how, that Canada “trap” and “charges” the United States and repeated his false statements about Americans “subsidizing” this country for a sum of $ 200 billion a year. The United States commercial deficit with Canada, which is largely driven by cheap oil imports, is much less than that.
Laura Ingraham, the Fox presenter, said that Trump’s hard talk about Canada has promoted the ruling liberal party and threatened the electoral possibilities of conservatives, which could be seen as a loss for the United States.
Trump said he doesn’t care about conservative electoral fortune because Pailievre is not “stupidly any friend of mine,” an apparent reference to Pailievre’s saying in the past that is not a “magic type.”
“I don’t know him, but he said negative things,” Trump said about Pailievre.
“So, when he says negative things, I don’t care. In fact, I think it’s easier to deal with a liberal and maybe they will win, but I don’t really care. I don’t care at all.”
However, Trump denounced the team of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying that “his people was unpleasant.” Trump has previously criticized the Minister of Transportation, Chrystia Freeland, who helped negotiate the Canadá-Usexico (Cusma) agreement in her first mandate.
Pailievre said he is the leader who faces Trump because the liberals will simply leave Canada in a weakened position and susceptible to a possible annexation.
“What Canadians need is a leader who is hard, firm and supports his convictions, a leader who will make us strong, self -sufficient and capable of standing for his own feet, a leader who will put Canada first,” said Poilievre.
“I am a strong leader, I am a hard guy to deal with,” said Poilievre, while Pussy was president of the Brookfield Board Asset Management when he moved his central office to New York.
While Trump said he doesn’t care how well the Poilievre rates in an election that could come as soon as this weekend, the president’s friend and political ally, Elon Musk, praised Pailievre, again published his tweets, applauded his speeches and interactions in the media.
Liberals have tried to paint Pailievre as a mini triumph that will take a populist leader, if chosen.
In Victoria’s speech after winning the leadership of the party, Palyy said that Pailievre will leave Canada “divided and ready to be conquered.”
“A person who loves Donald Trump’s altar will kneel before him, he will not face him.”
The Carney Festival published an ad in its social media channels called “Made in America”, which shows how Pailievre has said things similar to Trump over the years and asks: “How can you talk to Canada when you sound like Donald Trump?”
Both Trump and Poilievre have called some of the “false news of the media,” regretted that “everything is broken,” said alleged “left -wing censorship”, ridiculed the “awakestado” and “left radical” and supported the movement of convoy of truck driver who seized Parliament Hill on the return in the Covid era.
Trump has an agenda “America First” and Pailievre has said that “Canada First” will put.
While sometimes there are rhetorical similarities between the two, Pailievre has promised to take a position against Trump and its commercial action, asking for retaliation rates in US assets to try to make the president backward.
The conservative leader has not made immigration the central message of his platform, unlike the president.
The liberal government has already imposed tariffs at approximately $ 60 billion in American goods with $ 100 billion more to come if Trump advances more rates on April 2.
In the first days of his prime minister, Carney is taking measures to distance from Canada from the United States and has said that a call with Trump will only arrive when it is the right time.
