Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has launched a scathing attack on Mark Carney, accusing him of failing to shield Canada from U.S. tariffs under Donald Trump’s aggressive trade policy. Poilievre claims Carney hasn’t secured any real relief for Canada, even as other nations receive exemptions.
In response, Carney argues that Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs never applied to Canada in the first place. He’s promised to negotiate a sweeping new economic and security pact with the U.S. — but only if he wins the upcoming election.
Trump recently unveiled major new tariffs targeting nearly every country except Canada and Mexico, with Carney calling the exemption a modest win in a tough geopolitical climate.
