Jivani's U.S. Connections Continue to Create 'Clap Back' for Poilievre: Strategist
Tim Powers says Jamil Jivani’s repeated Washington trips are creating backlash in Canada and weakening Pierre Poilievre’s message.
- U.S. Vice President Vance mocked Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre as a "nonentity" during a fundraising speech, intensifying scrutiny over Durham Jamil Jivani's repeated independent trips to Washington for trade discussions.
- Strategist Tim Powers argues Jivani's independent diplomatic efforts are creating a "clap back" in Canada, undermining Poilievre's control over the Conservative foreign policy approach and demonstrating weakness for the party leader.
- On Friday, Poilievre instructed all MPs to use American contacts to "fight for tariff-free trade," aiming to protect Canadian industries and secure access to the continent's most lucrative market.
- Conservative strategist Dan Mader defended Poilievre, arguing the opposition leader's role is to hold government accountable rather than negotiate directly with the White House or U.S. congressional officials.
- Powers dismissed Vance's remarks as an "afternoon breeze" intended for fundraising donors, suggesting the mockery will not have lasting consequences for the Conservative Party or Poilievre's standing.
