"Poilievre said Tuesday that he didn't agree with Jivani's assessment. "Canadians are legitimately upset by the unjustifiable tariffs and comments that the president has made," Poilievre told reporters on Parliament Hill. When asked if Jivani's comments might muddle the Conservative message on U.S. tariffs, Poilievre said the MP "speaks for himself, I speak for the party.""
"Pierre Poilievre was asked by reporters on Tuesday for his thoughts on Conservative MP Jamil Jivani's trade trip to Washington, D.C. Poilievre said Jivani's riding has been 'disproportionally impacted' by tariffs and that it's 'necessary for all MPs to use all the connections and work that they can' to protect Canadian jobs, but also said that Jivani 'speaks for himself, and I speak for the party.' Political tensions between Canada and the U.S. have been heightened since Trump's re-election."
Pierre Poilievre disagreed with MP Jamil Jivani's characterization of Canadians' reaction to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and taunts. Jamil Jivani described the reaction as an 'anti-America hissy fit' during a Washington trip and comments to Breitbart News. Poilievre emphasized that Canadians are legitimately upset by unjustifiable tariffs and presidential comments and stressed that Jivani 'speaks for himself' while Poilievre 'speaks for the party.' Jivani's riding, including part of Oshawa, has been disproportionately impacted by tariffs amid recent General Motors layoffs. Several data points indicate Canada has reduced travel and trade with the U.S. since Trump's re-election.
