The Spin

Conservative Party narrative

Everyone knows these tariffs are a serious issue, but Carney and the Liberals have chosen to simply end all ties with the U.S. and pivot to Europe. Poilievre, meanwhile, understands that Canada can remain strong by utilizing the country's fast energy resources — industries the Liberals have destroyed thanks to their failed green energy policies. Canada doesn't have to seek aid across the world when all it has to do is begin production in its own backyard.

Liberal Party narrative

Carney's bold stance against Trump's tariffs is actually proving very effective, securing a productive phone call that softened Trump's rhetoric and sparked talks for a new economic deal. While Poilievre pushes tax cuts and isolation, Carney's diplomacy respects Canada's sovereignty and stabilizes its economy, outshining Poilievre's simplistic, less strategic approach. Trump plays on fear, but Carney doesn't cower in the face of threats.
