Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly participates in a discussion on Canada–US. Relations hosted by the Vancouver Board of Trade. Moderated by board president Bridgitte Anderson, the discussion focuses on the future of bilateral relations and on the federal government’s efforts to navigate the second Trump presidency. Joly comments on the impending U.S. tariff threat and highlights the importance of diversifying trade and breaking down interprovincial trade barriers.
In Ottawa, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lays out his proposals for bolstering Canada’s economy amid the threat of U.S. tariffs, which President Donald Trump has said may now come into effect on March 4. Poilievre also aims Mark Carney, accusing the Liberal leadership frontrunner of lying about his role in moving Brookfield Asset Management’s headquarters from Toronto to New York.
Responding to questions from reporters, Poilievre comments on the recent Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
As Friday ended, we all got word of a fight that happened in the Oval Office, in the White House, and it was captured live on American television. It was properly broadcasted on the White House YouTube channel, Mr. Zielinski was defending himself against bullies in the Trump administration. It kind of all started with, sadly, with some blogger commenting Mr. Zinsky wasn’t wearing a suit. Pretty certain that the person commenting why he doesn’t wear a suit was planted there by Mr. Trump to demean Mr. Zelensky and demean him as a leader. This is a man that took up the torch for Ukraine and is defending his country against odds that we can’t even imagine. With Vladimir Putin at the helm of the Russian Federation, the war has continued over three years, and the Ukrainian soldiers have managed to hit territories and targets inside the Russian border. They managed to push, at some point, push the Russians back across the border, and have defended themselves against innumerable attacks and inhumane acts of destruction that were caused by the Russian soldiers we have heard on the United Nations Security Council floor. Donald Trump said that Mr. Putin has been falsely accused in the media and Mr. Zelenki needs to sign the deal that Mr. Trump has in front of him, or he holds no cards. He is ultimately going to cause World War Three and the destruction of Ukraine. The only way he will have cards is, is if he signs the deal right there, the only way he would ever have power, Mr. Trump, Mr. Rubio and Mr. Vance tried to demoralize a person who stood strong against the bullies and is continuing to stand strong, and has a history of standing strong against bullies, including Vladimir Putin, Mr. Trump and his and his married little men displayed on Friday who they truly are aligned with, who their true allegiance belongs with Vladimir Putin.
When Mr. Zelenskyy left the White House, and he got to Europe, he was greeted with open arms by the EU. Justin Trudeau stated that Canada will stand with Ukraine. Mr. Trump is still denouncing Mr. Zelensky, saying he is attempting to defame him and by calling him different names, saying that his leadership is weak and he is going to fall. The truth of the matter is, is that Mr. Trump, by laying all of his cards on the table and revealing who is he’s truly aligned with, he opened up the door for the European Union to truly open its eyes and see that maybe for the next four years, we need to keep the United States at a distance. Other former presidents have made statements about the display that happened on Friday, and it isn’t favorable. This isn’t about Democrats versus Republicans any longer. This is about a fascist autocrat trying to conquer and take over the American people.
