On the surface, Pierre Poilievre’s recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast had more good than bad. The Conservative leader came across as likable, down-to-earth, and clear. He stressed the need to unleash Canada’s energy potential. He called for cutting regulations that have suppressed innovation. He pushed for lower government spending. These are all sound ideas and Canada would surely benefit from them.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has announced he had an interview with Joe Rogan — the world’s most influential podcaster — to push his idea for “tariff-free trade.”
Poilievre shared the news in a social media post in which he said he “fought for Canadian workers and Canadian interests on the world’s biggest podcast.”
Fought for Canadian workers and Canadian interests on the world’s biggest podcast.
Thank you @joerogan for an amazing conversation.
Let’s get tariff-free trade.

WINDSOR – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has unveiled a new auto plan aiming to secure tariff-free access to the U.S. market.
The plan would harmonize tailpipe emissions reductions with the U.S., and align Canada with the United States on Chinese tariffs in a move meant to give Canada leverage in trade talks.
Poilievre would also implement a rule where for each car produced in Canada, the same manufacturer would be able to sell a U.S. or Mexico-made car in Canada duty-free.

LifeSiteNews recently sat down for an interview with Jack Fonseca, director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition, the largest and most significant pro-life group in all of Canada. The group facilitates major pro-life events including Life Chain, 40 Days For Life, and the March For Life. In his position, Jack oversees the responsibility of electing pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Christian candidates across Canada. Jack is a devoted Catholic, father, and quietly one of Canada’s most important figures in the pro-life movement. In this discussion, Jack holds nothing back in discussing the evils of the left-wing abortion movement, the failure of the Conservative opposition, and the strategy behind turning Canada into a pro-life country once again.
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said Canada should support replacing Iran’s current government and called for the removal of individuals linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard from the country.
Speaking at a press conference Monday, Poilievre described Iran’s leadership as a “terrorist regime” and said Conservatives support efforts that would lead to a democratically elected government in the country.

Is it too late for Pierre Poilievre?
The Conservative leader gave an impressive speech this past week to the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto in which he laid out a Conservative strategy for dealing with the erratic and very anti-Canadian U.S President Donald Trump.
I don’t see anyone that can replace him.
Pierre Poilievre says he would rather work with Prime Minister Mark Carney to fight Donald Trump than plunge the country into another election to choose which man is the better negotiator.
The Conservative leader declared that choice in a 40-minute podcast interview with former CBC anchor Peter Mansbridge, featuring some fascinating glimpses into how Poilievre intends to shift his tone this year.
Just no pleasing The Star.
When Mark Carney took to the stage at Davos this year, he cast himself as the spokesman for a new alliance of middle powers, banding together against an erratic and aggressive America. Within days, the Canadian prime minister was being hailed as a liberal counterweight to President Trump.
Had events unfolded slightly differently nine months earlier, it would have been Pierre Poilievre, not Carney, representing Ottawa on the world stage. Betting markets last year gave the 46-year-old Conservative from Calgary a 90 per cent chance of becoming prime minister. Instead, a rapid chain of political shocks reshaped the country’s trajectory. It was a case study in how quickly political fortunes can turn. Rather than win the country, Poilievre lost his seat.
OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said trade with China is no substitute for trade with the United States and Canada should build on its leverage to secure a tariff-free trade deal with our neighbour to the south.
“Canada’s prosperity and security are inseparable from a stable relationship with the United States,” said Poilievre, during a speech at the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on Thursday.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is set to unveil a suite of policy proposals meant to address the uncertainty caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, according to a member of his senior staff.
Poilievre will deliver a speech to business leaders at the Economic Club of Canada in Toronto on Thursday that the organization is billing as a “vision for Canada-U.S. relations.”
Katy Merrifield, Poilievre’s head of communications, told CBC News that the speech will include new policy proposals that are intended to be realistic and aimed at restoring Canada’s leverage in an unstable geopolitical environment.
Had Pierre Poilievre had won the last election, he would not have gone to Davos to address the World Economic Forum, as Mark Carney now famously did — to Donald Trump’s scorn and world acclaim.
The Conservative leader has promised for years to steer well clear of the annual gathering in Switzerland, and committed once again in the 2025 campaign to ban ministers from any participation in the forum.
So prime minister Poilievre would have missed the chance that Carney seized earlier this year to declare to Trump and the world that Canada is shifting its gaze to a future less dependent on a now unreliable ally.
China is reliantly totalitarian.
When one of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative MPs, Jamil Jivani, travelled to Washington to meet with Trump administration officials, he chose to chastise Canadians for having an anti-American “hissy fit” in an interview with MAGA site Breitbart News.
It’s hard to imagine a more harmful piece of public relations for the Conservatives.
And it is a golden opportunity for Mr. Poilievre.
The “Hissy Fit” comment only upsets the Elbow people who somehow can’t see that in the LPC they support the very people who have made Canada “Poorer than Alabama”.
In a move Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling a betrayal, Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux is joining the Liberal caucus.
“Matt, welcome to the government team,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday, sitting down with Jeneroux for a press conference in Edmonton.
The two did not take questions from journalists.
Two weeks ago, Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre met in the prime minister’s Parliament Hill office in an apparent attempt to find common ground on the government’s legislative agenda.
“My message to him is to work with us,” Poilievre told reporters afterwards.
Perhaps Carney took that message more literally than Poilievre intended.
