Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre warned U.S. President Donald Trump not to turn Canada into the 51st state. Poilievre spoke at a “Canada First” rally, saying Canada will never be the 51st state and that Canadians will bear any burden to protect their sovereignty.
Poilievre also accused the Liberals of instrumentalizing the looming threat of tariffs to distract from their record, and promised a patriotic tax cut and to axe the sales tax on new homes if he is elected prime minister.
