“China not a substitute for the U.S.”: Poilievre pitches plan to boost economic leverage
Poilievre says Canada must stop “mistaking engagement for dependence” on Beijing and instead unlock its own energy and mineral wealth to gain “unbreakable leverage abroad."
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canada must stop “mistaking engagement for dependence” on Beijing and instead unlock its own energy and mineral wealth to gain “unbreakable leverage abroad” including by fast-tracking a pipeline to the Pacific.
In a keynote address delivered to the Economic Club of Canada, titled Stronger at Home — Leverage Abroad, Poilievre argued that Canada cannot control foreign leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, but does have control over its own economic future.
