US EditionPoilievre pitches Tories as best choice to stand up to Trump as Singh heads to B.C.
- With a federal election called for April 28, Liberal Leader Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are campaigning amidst escalating threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has hinted at imposing tariffs and even annexing Canada.
- The backdrop to the election includes a desire for change among 54 percent of Canadians, coupled with rising anxiety over Trump's policies, leading the Liberals to position themselves as the strongest defense against American aggression.
- Poilievre, who initially embraced populist tactics and slogans echoing Trump's 'America First' approach, now faces scrutiny regarding his ability to stand up to the U.S. President, despite vowing to defeat 'gatekeepers' and attacking major media outlets.

- Despite Poilievre's attempts to present himself as the best choice to counter Trump, internal tensions within the Conservative campaign, including disagreements over strategy and candidate selection, coupled with recent polls showing the Liberals ahead, raise questions about the Conservatives' path to victory.
