Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has criticized Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, accusing him of being too “weak” to protect Canada’s economy in the face of potential challenges from incoming U.S. president Donald Trump. During a heated exchange in the House of Commons, Poilievre stated, “He’s lost control of our borders, he’s lost control of immigration, he’s lost control of spending. And with that erratic performance, we now see that he’s lost control of himself. No wonder foreign leaders believe they can walk all over him.”
Trudeau defended his government’s efforts to address affordability issues, pointing to a promised GST tax holiday set to take effect in December. He emphasized that his administration would continue to advocate for Canadian jobs in the face of economic uncertainties.
The prime minister also faced criticism from Bloc Quebecois leader Yves Francois-Blanchet, who called for a confidence vote on Trudeau’s proposed tax holiday and rebate cheque, arguing that Canadians and business owners are not in favor of these initiatives.
The tensions and debates in the House of Commons reflect the growing concerns over Canada’s economic future and relationship with the United States under the incoming Trump administration. As the country prepares for potential changes in trade agreements and policies, the question of leadership and strength in protecting Canada’s interests remains a central issue for politicians and citizens alike.
