In his 20 years as MP, PP has accomplished nothing for Canadian families, but last year spent over $8m, twice what PMJT spent, and he continued to live on our dime when he was a civilian. The guy is bent, in many ways.

#cdnpoli ~ unfortunately I don’t think it will ~ I believe their sentences should have been more severe given the pain & chaos they imposed to the Ottawa community & the costly impacts to the #Canadian economy.

Disappointing, but hope they learn something from the 100 hours of community service.

The structure of the 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 trade file terrifies me.

🇺🇸 is trying to bankrupt 🇨🇦.The 🇺🇸is waging economic warfare—creating the conditions for annexation.

PP is only fanning populist flames. The proletarian class can be dangerous.

This is a dire time for 🇨🇦.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

The political battleground for Canada will increasingly be BC, without the rest of Canada, esp Ontario, more than peripherally aware that BC exists. This is an astonishing statement of domestic aggression! So why is this not being adequately covered by the "national" media?! #cdnpoli

The weasel Poilievre continues to work against our national interests in favour of his own - continuing to offer zero solutions.

All you need from his “scathing” letter:

“Poilievre's letter didn't say what he would do differently from Carney and his negotiation team…”

PP's hyperpartisan letter to Carney before US meeting.

If 🇨🇦 wanted you to represent us internationally, we would have elected you PM. Stop trying to undermine PMMC while lying about putting country over party. Let him do the job you are completely unqualified for.

#canpoli #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre

Header of letter reads: Leader of the opposition, October 6, 2025. Addressed to Mark Carney.
Subject: Go to Washington and "negotiate a win" for Canada
Prime Minister,
Conservatives will always put Canada first. We restate our standing offer to help you keep your promise to "negotiate a win" on tarrifs with the U.S.
We only ask that you keep your promise in this meeting with the president. You promised a deal by July 21, 2025. Still no deal. You promised to "negotiate a win" and now US tarrifs om Canada are twice as high as when you were elected saying you would get rid of them. You promised "elbows up" then caved on dollar-for-dollar tarrifs, the Digital Services tax and more while winning nothing in return for Canada.
You promised jobs. Then killed 86,000 of them. You promised the "fastest-growing economy in the G7" and delivered the fastest-shrinking economy in the G7. Canadians suffering in your weak economy have no more time for you to bask in globe-trotting photo ops, handshakes and press conferences.
No more losing. It's time for you to deliver the promised wins:
-get US tarrifs off Canadian softwood lumber as Prime Minister Harper negotiated within 80 days of taking office.
-get US tarrifs off Canadian steel, aluminum, copper and auto tarrifs that have doubled since you took office. Time for your promised win to reverse the damage.
-get rid of all other US tarrifs
We only expect you to keep your promises. If you only return with excuses, broken promises and photo ops, you will have failed our workers, our businesses and our country.

Note: fact-checking recommended

Header reads: Leader of the Opposition

I am always happy to help because we all must put Canada ahead of our parties.
Best wishes in Washington, Prime Minister. We are all cheering for a big win for Canada.
Sincerely,
(Signed) Pierre Poilievre
