Poilievre's Positive Leverage Plan vs. Liberal 'Elbows Up' Failure

s Pierre Poilievre's approach to the Trump tariffs stronger than the Liberal government's "elbows up" strategy?

In this episode, I examine Pierre Poilievre's proposal to use Canada's energy and critical minerals as positive leverage to pursue tariff-free access to the U.S. market, and compare it with Mark Carney's approach to the ongoing Canada–U.S. trade dispute.

Topics covered include:

• Poilievre's positive leverage strategy
• Mark Carney's response and trade negotiations
• The Liberal government's "elbows up" tariff strategy
• Canada's energy and critical minerals as bargaining tools
• Ontario Premier Doug Ford's comments on retaliation
• Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe's differing approaches
• Media coverage of the Canada–U.S. trade talks
• Manufacturing job losses and economic impacts
• Canada's competitiveness and investment climate
• Why accountability matters for Canadian workers and families

Do you think Canada should be using its energy and resource advantages to negotiate better trade outcomes, or is the current strategy the right one?
