Canadian conservative leader captures Trump’s remarks in the middle of a falling fall | News about politics
Pierre Poilievre is trying to distance himself from Donald Trump, as the threats of the US president against Canada encourages public anger.
The leader of the Canadian Conservative Party seized Donald Trump’s remarks about the upcoming Canadian elections to distance himself from the President of the United States in the middle poll numbers.
In an interview with Fox News this week, Trump said he didn’t care who wins the upcoming federal elections in Canada, but that he “would rather deal with a liberal than a conservative.”
Pierre Poilievre said on Wednesday that the US president – whose tariffs and threats have been promoted to Canada in recent months with a wide anger – effectively supported the new Prime Minister Marko Carney Liberal Party.
“Yesterday, the president said that the liberal prime minister would be easier for him to deal with, just as he once again threatened to make us 51.” Poilievre told reporters in Sumbury, Ontario.
“At that moment it is true: I am a strong leader, a heavy guy I deal with. I am firmly in my beliefs, and I will always put Canada first.”
Poilievre and his conservative party saw what used to be a seemingly insurmountable lead in public opinion surveys bounce From the beginning of the year.
Experts say Trump’s repeated threats to Canada and imposed steep sanctions against the ground, along with Justin TrudeauExodus as a liberal leader and prime minister are the main factors in the turn of Tori.
A recent survey shows that the liberals have grown in front of conservatives before the federal elections, which have to happen until October 20, but is expected to happen before.
Poilievre, a politician known for his flammable rhetoric and abuse of Trudeau, struggled to find solid messages in Trump’s face.
Daniel Beland, a Political Science Professor at McGill University, Al Jazeera said last month that Poilievre Faces a challenge: Does not want to alienate a part of his base that loves Trump, but he also has to complain to Canadians who want a leader who will confront our threats.
In the meantime, the combat political style of Poilievre compared Trump, asking questions about how to deal with the US president if conservatives win the next election and he becomes a prime minister.
Poilievre, who took over as Party leader 2022He regularly described Canada as a “broken” land under Trudeau. He also attacked journalists as biased, and critics say he often echoes the extremely right conversations about immigration and other issues.
In the midst of the recent threats of Trump, Poilievre used the slogan of “Canada First” – similar to his own policy of US President “American FIRST”.
Angus Reid Institute poll Posted on Monday showed that 55 percent of Canadians believed that Carney was most appropriate to manage a trade war in the US Canada, compared to 30 percent preferred by Poilievre.
“More, 41 percent now consider Carney as the most appropriate for the premiere compared to 29 percent for Poilievre,” said the research company for dialing.
Faced with these public feelings, Poilievre is still trying to position herself as the best choice for handling Trump administration.
“Liberals giving a fourth term will only weaken our country and strengthen Donald Trump,” he told reporters on Wednesday.
“We need a strong, hard leader who will free our resources, reduce taxes and bureaucracy, build homes and make our economy less relying on Americans to place Canada first.”
Trump He also seemed to be separated from Poilievre during her interview for Fox News. “A stupid conservative is not my friend,” Trump said.
“I don’t know him, but he said negative things. When he says negative things, he wouldn’t be able to worry less. I think it’s easier to deal with liberal, and maybe he’ll win, but I’m not really interested.”
