Jivani vs Poilievre on U.S. Trade | Montreal News

Conservative MP Jamil Jivani stunned the party by declaring there’s no real alternative to the Liberals — while his own leader, Pierre Poilievre, was overseas pushing for tariff-free U.S. trade. Jivani argued the Conservatives must offer a clearer vision: stronger ties with America, economic stability, infrastructure, and growth — while accusing Liberals of using U.S. tensions to avoid accountability and media of branding critics as traitors. He also criticized Canada’s pivot toward China. This isn’t the first time Jivani and Poilievre have clashed on U.S. policy — Jivani once called Canada’s tariff response an “anti-America hissy-fit,” forcing Poilievre to distance himself. Meanwhile, Poilievre told U.S. outlets Canadians feel betrayed by trade actions, insisting deeper North American integration would lower costs, secure supply chains, and counter China — all while continuing his push for closer ties with Washington.
