In today’s Canada politics news update, Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre gave a speech yesterday to a room full of business people bemoaning that Canada and Prime Minister Mark Carney should be nicer to the United States and President Donald Trump.

Let’s break down the facts of the matter and set the record straight.
