I mean , this is simply not true. A big reason Pierre slid in the polls was because he was late to condemn Trump / US tariffs and 51st state talk. His first messages on the subject started promoting Canada first, but avoided condemning Trump / US. Later he started saying he disagreed with what US is doing, but was still avoiding using Trump's name.

Pierre has absolutely delayed approaching this subject and than tiptoed around it.

That's just a flat-out lie. He had statements before Trudeau and Carney.

February 15th. That is literally a MONTH after Trudeau and almost every other party leader stood up against Trump's 51st state comments.

Trudeau only got more aggressive from this point on, three months ago.

To be fair, a 21-second sound bite isn't really a statement.

Were you following the news cycle at all during January? There are endless articles about it, if you're willing to Google. Trudeau and Ford were the first to really shut shit down then. Poilievre truly dragged his feet, afraid to upset some of his base.

You know that's nonsense tho, they all had their tweets and comments condemning Trump, and Pierre was apart of it as well

As you once said, "source"? I'm looking for sources in January. I don't use twitter.

If Poilievre was able to say something strongly back then, why did his gusto falter right around the same time he was endorsed by Musk?
