Poilievre criticizes Carney's U.S. trade stance as inconsistent, saying Canada has been weakened by absent negotiations.
"One day, he wants a full rupture with the U.S. The next day he wants to 'Make America Great Again.'"
"So which is it?"
WATCH: Conservative Leader @PierrePoilievre says that Conservative governments unite the country, pointing to Harper having ‘wiped out’ the separatist movements and argues ‘centralist’ Liberal policies have reignited regional divisions.
Another stupid headline.
Economy is not “sluggish” it is literally shrinking not only over the last two quarters but over the last combined four as well.
And saying Poilievre “accuses” Mark Carney of ducking questions makes it seem like he could be twisting the truth when that is objectively what is happening.
Headline should read “Poilievre attacks Mark Carney for ducking debate on Canada’s shrinking economy”
If a Conservative was Prime Minister, we wouldn’t be using all of the dumb hedging language.
Carney has yet to publicly comment on Canada’s economy entering a recession after Statistics Canada data released last week showed gross domestic product contracted for two consecutive quarters.

For Canada to work, Parliament has to be seen to be a relevant place for regional grievances to be heard and addressed by the federal government.
If the PM openly demonstrates that Parliament is beneath him, people will conclude that Canada doesn't work.
Over to you, Carney.
Prime Minister,
You promised the "fastest-growing economy in the G7." You delivered the only recession in the G7.
Conservatives are calling for an emergency House debate now to reverse the damage you’ve done.
Sure, Liberals say, Canada is the only G7 country in recession.
Sure, two back-to-back quarters of shrinking GDP is the textbook definition of a recession.
But, they say, it is just a “technical recession”. A fluke. Everything else is great.
So let’s look beyond the back-to-back quarterly decline: Canada’s unemployment is now the 2nd highest in the G7—a third higher than in the U.S.—as Canada lost 112,300 jobs in just three months, leaving 45,800 more Canadians jobless since Carney became Prime Minister.
The economy contracted in three of Carney's four quarters in office, something unmatched in the G7, as business investment fell another 0.7% for a fifth straight quarterly decline, and more than $20 billion in net investment fled Canada.
Meanwhile, insolvencies hit their highest levels since 2009, up nearly 19%, with 1.5 million Canadians missing debt payments in just three months and mortgage delinquencies rising 32%.
Canadian households carry by far the highest debt in the G7, while food bank use continues to surge. 1 in 10 GTA residents are now relying on them and visits are hitting a record 4.1 million last year—up 340% since 2019. Nationwide, food bank demand is up 100% in 7 years.
Almost all these measures are worse than when Carney took office and worse than any other G7 country—so blaming world events or tariffs won’t cut it.
Stop the excuses. Own it: This is a full-blown Carney Recession.
Liberals really are the maga north.
The dear leader is always right. Trust the plan.
Trump is literally doing a "everything will be alright int he end campaign as we speak" lol
Secretary of State (CRA) Wayne Long says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre "seems to be celebrating" Canada's lagging economy, and argues "there's a lot of very, very positive indicators to our economy".

Poilievre rejects NDP leader Avi Lewis' call for Canada to send free oil to Cuba as the country grapples with economic and political instability.
"We're not donating our oil to a communist regime."
A profile in courage, he is not.
“Monday’s question period was the 123rd such session in the current Parliament and Carney has been present for just 33 of those sessions, or 26.8 per cent.”
Central Canadians need to pay attention and come up with solutions that work for Albertans, instead of pointing fingers and calling them and their Premier traitors to Canada. This is the first article that acknowledges how past attitudes and policies in Central Canada have led us to where we are today.
Nothing annoys me more than this line, that we must stick our heads in the sand or we're "running down Canada".
I actually love my country and that's why I want to FIX the problems.
Canada defense minister accuses Tory leader Poilievre of "running down Canada," after Poilievre talked about a "recession" 19 times after his initial 4 questions in the daily question-period session.
