Episode Details

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is firing a warning shot at Prime Minister Mark Carney, demanding he stop caving to U.S. trade demands—especially as 50% tariffs loom in just ten days. Poilievre accuses Carney of giving away too much without getting anything in return, citing past concessions like dropping Canada’s digital services tax and lifting retaliatory tariffs. He insists Canada must stand firm for a fair deal, pushing for zero tariffs on lumber, elimination of steel/aluminum duties, and a tariff-free auto pact. Meanwhile, provincial leaders and dairy farmers are also resisting U.S. pressure, while Ottawa seeks a broad agreement covering key sectors—but with time running out, Carney admits not all goals may be met before the tariffs hit. The Conservatives are also calling for a critical minerals reserve to boost leverage, arguing Canadians deserve a government that fights for their sovereignty—not just submits to foreign pressure.
