Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre warned U.S. President Donald Trump not to turn a “loyal friend into a resentful neighbour” with his incessant threats of tariffs on key sectors to the Canadian economy and of making Canada into the 51st state.
Poilievre was speaking to hundreds of supporters at a “Canada First” rally on Saturday afternoon, to coincide with Flag Day, in the same downtown Ottawa convention centre where Poilievre’s leadership of the party began more than two years ago.
“Sometimes it does take a threat to remind us of what we have, what we could lose and what we could become,” he told the crowd. “The unjustified threats of tariffs and 51st statehood from Donald Trump have united our people to defend the country we love.”
