In a room decorated with 13 giant Canadian flags, the Conservative leader was asked how he received the kind words of the richest man on the planet, who published on X a series of praises for him in the last days.
“If I had the chance to speak directly to Mr. Musk, I would ask him how we could attract more investments here in Canada,” Mr. Poilievre replied to a journalist.
“How can we, without doing BS [bien-être social] corporate, attract these investments here in Canada? […] Why are Americans, their engineers, their workers, the ones receiving these paychecks?”
If elected, he promises a “free economy with fewer taxes, less taxes, less red tape.”
“I have a warning to Americans too: the days of the Government of Canada expelling billions of dollars with expensive and destructive state policies are over,” said Pierre Poilievre.
“Stop apologizing for our country”
Justin Trudeau has the “right” to call a federal election right now if he wants to and that’s what he should do. Waiting for more months will only make the “chaos” continue, added the Conservative leader.
The Conservative leader told reporters that we had to “put Canada first by stopping apologizing for our country, by being proud of our country.”
“We will regain control of our borders, regain control of immigration, ask those who come here to be proud of our country, our values and our way of life,” he said. spear.
Mr. Trudeau asked the Governor General to prorogue Parliament until March 24, to give members time to get through a campaign from which a new leader will emerge.
But whether it’s against Mark Carney, Christy Clark, Chrystia Freeland, it doesn’t matter: “They’re all Justin Trudeau. They are all like Justin,” he said.
Mr. Poilievre also attacked the current rules of Liberal Party of Canada (PLC) leadership races which allow almost anyone aged 14 and over to become a member of the party and vote for a leader, including international students.
«[Il y a] 3 million non-residents who will be able to vote to choose the next prime minister, allowing foreign interference in the decision of who will have the most powerful position in the country,” he lamented.
