The Poilievre Conservatives are attacking Canada's longstanding tradition of multilateralism and global engagement.
They claim its Liberal "racism."
They would leave Canada weak and alone in the face of trump and putin.

The Conservative "Multiverse" Attack on Canada
At a time when global instability is rising, you would think that it would be patently obvious that Canada’s longstanding tradition of international engagement matters more than ever.

When Canada deepens ties with China, it's not romance, it's risk management. If the U.S. keeps slapping tariffs and rewriting rules, partners diversify. Reliability is an economic asset; squander it, and trade flows and influence quietly move elsewhere.

That's right, folks, the Ontario government's Black Friday sale is back! And for this Black Friday, for a small donation to my reelection campaign, you'll receive a $10M Skills Development Fund grant! But hurry, because the OPP are having a look-see now, so this is a time-limited offer!

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Dear Mr. Poilievre,
Why do you continue to push for a trade deal with an untrusted partner when there are so many viable options on the table?
It’s truly stunning.
I honestly have to wonder where your allegiances lie.
