Poilievre refuses to bash Trump via trick question, says it’s possible to work with him and be ‘firm’

From LifeSiteNews
Poilievre said one could be “respectful and firm” with Trump, adding that he believes “we have to be both.”
Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre refused to condemn U.S. President Donald Trump and instead said he “respects” the office of the president, adding that he can still be “firm” with him and get along.
Asked Sunday by a reporter “Do you respect Donald Trump?” — which appeared in many ways to be a trick question – Poilievre responded, “I respect the office of the President of the United States.”
“And we have to show respect to other world leaders. The bottom line is the Americans buy 75 percent of our goods. So, whoever is the Prime Minister is going to have to at some point deal with President Trump. He was only elected a short time ago. He’s going to be around for four more years.”
Poilievre said one could be “respectful and firm” with Trump, adding that he believes “we have to be both.”
“I will insist the President recognize the independence and sovereignty of Canada. I will insist that he stopped Tariffing our nation. And at the same time, I will strengthen our country,” he noted.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney triggered an election that will be held April 28.
Poilievre has blasted Carney as an “establishment” Liberal politician who was “installed” by “Justin Trudeau’s insiders.”
Trump, as reported by LifeSiteNews, recently suggested he would prefer Carney to continue as Canada’s prime minister instead of Poilievre, who Trump said was “no friend” of his.
Poilievre hit back at Trump, saying the reason Trump endorsed Carney was that he “knows” he would be a “tough negotiator.”
In recent weeks, Trump has stated many times that he thinks Canada should be the “51st” state, a comment that was rebuked by Trudeau, Carney, and Poilievre.
A little over a week ago, Trump announced he was giving Mexico and Canada a 30-day reprieve on 25 percent export tariffs for goods covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on free trade.

Carney says Liberals won’t make voting pact with NDP

From LifeSiteNews
Mark Carney says unlike his predecessor Justin Trudeau, the Liberals will not be making a voting pact with the left-wing New Democratic Party.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that his Liberal Party, which formed a minority government last week, will not be forming a voting pact with the far-left New Democratic Party.
Speaking to reporters last week, Carney replied “no” when asked by a reporter if he would be “pursuing a formal governing pact of any kind with the NDP.”
The reporter followed up asking, “Why not?” to which Carney replied, “Why?” adding, “That’s my answer.”
Last week’s election saw Liberal leader Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who also lost his seat to a Liberal rival. Poilievre’s riding was unusual in that it had 90 candidates named on the ballot, making the voting list in that riding incredibly long.
The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader, for now, and will soon run in a by-election to try and regain his seat.
As it stands now, the unofficial results show the Liberals at 169 seats, which is four short of a majority. The Conservatives have 144 seats, the Bloc Québécois have 22 seats, the NDP has 7 and the Green Party has one.
In 2022, while also leading a Liberal minority government, former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau concocted a Supply And Confidence Agreement with former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. Under the agreement, the NDP would protect the Liberals from being ousted via a vote of non-confidence in exchange for the Liberals supporting certain NDP-led legislation.
Carney’s insistence that he will not make such an agreement means it remains to be seen how his government will garner the votes necessary to pass legislation.

Mark Carney vows to ‘deepen’ Canada’s ties with the world, usher in ‘new economy’

From LifeSiteNews
Newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney used his first post-election press conference to announce his government’s plan to launch a “new economy” in Canada that will involve “deepening” ties to the world.
During the Friday morning press conference, Carney explained his vision for Canada, alleging that the nation is “in a once in a lifetime crisis” and that it is “time to come together, to put on our Team Canada [hockey] sweaters, and win big.”
Part of this plan, said Carney, is to unveil a “new Canadian economy” that will present the biggest shift since the end of the Second World War.
Carney said that his Liberal government would build houses with “smaller environmental footprints” and would “trust science.”
After his prepared remarks, the majority of the media questions involved Canada’s relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump and the ongoing tariff dispute.
Despite Carney’s globalist, left-wing political viewpoint, Trump reacted to the Liberals election victory by calling the prime minister a “nice gentleman” who “hated” him less than Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
Carney also said in the presser that his new cabinet will be sworn in on May 12.
Monday’s election saw Liberal leader Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who also lost his seat. The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, however, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader, for now.
Carney has worked as the former governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England and spent many years promoting green financial agendas.
Many political pundits have said that Carney owes his win to Trump and the president’s tariff threats and 51st state rhetoric.
The re-election of the Liberals for the fourth consecutive term has also seemed to bolster separatist sentiment in Western Canada, a region which votes overwhelming for the Conservative Party but because of its smaller population, often remains at the mercy of those in eastern Canada when it comes to electing federal leaders.
Just one day after Carne’y election, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said that her province could soon consider taking serious steps toward greater autonomy. Smith also introduced a bill that would make calling referendums, including ones related to Albertan independence from Canada, easier to call.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of abortion, euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation and so-called “climate change” policies. Indeed, Carney, like Trudeau, seems to have extensive ties to both China and the globalist World Economic Forum, connections which were brought up routinely by conservatives in the lead-up to the election.
