Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says he has no plans to change his economic policy in the face of US President Donald Trump's 25% tariff threats. He stressed that his proposed tax cuts and support for energy projects are more important than ever.
Poilievre's key messages:
🔹 End the carbon tax and increase the capital gains tax
🔹 Develop pipeline infrastructure and repeal Bill C-69
🔹 Protect Canada's historic heritage and combat "cancel culture"
He says Trump's threats prove the Conservatives right, and even the Liberals now support his ideas, from ending taxes to expanding oil production.
The Liberals' response
Former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney has proposed replacing the carbon tax with a stimulus program, while Chrystia Freeland and Karina Gould have proposed freezing its increase.
Poilievre's plans if he wins
✅ Development of the oil and gas industry, tax cuts
✅ Tightening penalties for vandalism of historical monuments
✅ Restoration of symbols of Canadian identity
The trade standoff with the United States has only strengthened Poilievre in his position, and he is ready to fight for the implementation of his program.
