During a lively question period in the Canadian House of Commons, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre took a jab at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, suggesting that his Foreign Affairs Minister, Mélanie Joly, is more focused on securing her boss’s job than addressing recent threats from president-elect Donald Trump. Poilievre sarcastically remarked that instead of dealing with Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, Joly appears to be positioning herself as a potential successor to Trudeau, as reported in the New York Times.
Trump’s proposal of a 25-per cent tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico if they do not address drug and border issues has sparked concern in Canada. However, Poilievre’s comments highlight the internal political dynamics at play within the Canadian government, with speculation swirling around potential leadership changes.
The New York Times profile on Joly has added fuel to the fire, painting her as a “top contender” to lead the Liberal party in Canada. Despite the headlines and speculation, Joly has remained silent on the matter, leaving room for interpretation and further political maneuvering.
As tensions mount between Canada and the incoming Trump administration, the focus on domestic politics within Canada’s leadership adds another layer of complexity to an already tumultuous relationship. With Joly’s ambitions potentially overshadowing the task at hand, it remains to be seen how Canada will navigate these challenging times in the international arena.

The liberal party is junk. Go get maids.
Why does the house of criminals do not understand, Canadians are sick of ALL of you!
We need someone new who is willing to understand the upsets of Canadians but do not support the alt-right. An average Joe if you will.
Polilivere is a Trump suckhole!
(All he does is complain about Trudeau!)
And then he goes after our pensioners and healthcare with Danielle!
Lmfao!
Justin Castro needs to sign over Canada to Trump. I can't wait to be the 51st state. Canada is run by idiots.
Our tax money is given to these clowns to waste time babbling back and forth, nothing is done.
Trudeau and his mandates and policies are the attack upon Canada we need to come together against.
Yes we are gonna pull together bigtime when election day comes an vote you out no question.
PP soeaks like he will be a hard negotiator with Trump. He needs to bootlick Trump before election to get the votes of pro Trumpers, who form the majority of PPs vote bank
Pipsqueak PP the India implemented MP
Trudeau is the worst. He has to go. Election now!!!
Canada with India
Canada with USA
Why is he still there?
A Canadian news story ?
Refreshing, thank you
Submission of all canadian politicians toward their new boss… Trump. That is a national shame.
Canadians in droves are standing up against our dancing queen trudo – Poilievre for Prime Minister
Canadians will pull together, and give Trudeau the boot
She's just testing the way to become the next liberal candidate. …
Imagine putting a cabinet together based solely on DEI hires! What possibly could go wrong???
I'm pretty sure all canadians are standing together, saying we don't want trudeau, but nobody's listening in the government.Why is he still an office
Originally I thought we already hit out rock bottom, but look like we are only halfway there….
Non confidence Trudeau the dictator how about the truckers trudy.
Joli? Lol no thanks! New leadership is what Canadians want.
Make Canada Great Again
She is a useless and worst foreign minister , who will sell canada along with Traitor Trudeau and Terrorist Jagmeet with her stupid politics.
The NYT just ran a puff piece lionizing her for being a woman.
This exemplifies why I'm an ex-subscriber.
Its readership is now 93% Democratic supporters.
The last time Canadians stood together, JT invoked the emergencies act.
He's a stooge.
Our political system needs to be fixed
An amusing statement given that Pollivere is doing the exact same thing. He is trying to take the PM's office instead of actually coming up with feasible solutions to the potential tariff war. He hasn't changed since he first joined the Parliament. Just an attack dog.
Typical infighting amongst the 338 traitorous criminals in the House of Corruption in Ottawa.
OMYGAWD I can't believe we pay taxes for back and forth bickering. DO SOMETHING!! THE WORLD IS ON FIRE.
Well to be fair, she couldn't do much worse. It is an extremely low bar…
I wonder if Guilbeault was at the Trump dinner?
I remember seeing Joly at a university party catching a viscous DP
Carbon tax have helped destroy our economy!
She had zero qualifications for the job…
Because of people who have a blind biased against any and all conservatives, we must endure this negligently incompetent govt
Screw liberals and their divisional acting plan.
OMG, I missed the word 'Foreign' in this line while reading & was shocked !
What is happening in France is the best lecture for Block Quebecers on how to end politicians who aren't fit to lead the government. Do they continue to support the weak Prime Minister instead of ending this ongoing political charade, and joining Conservatives to remove this so corrupt Government??
Trumps tarrif would be no big deal if Trudeau had not doubled our national debt and counting.
Joly as leader of the Liberals? Well… If you want to not only sink, but CRASH to the bottom, that's an idea.
Trudeau is not right nor is he honorable
I cant wait till trudolf gets embarrassed and fired
I would never vote Liberals under Joly leadership. Trudeau has intentionally tarnished their reputation and their future leadership of the Liberal would only result in defeat. For the party to be successful, they would need another leader altogether. On the other hand, I commend her for her initiative and its way overdue that Trudeau has overstayed his welcome. Competition is healthy.
