LILLEY: New Liberal ads put Canadian jobs at risk to attack Trump
The Liberal Party simply can’t help themselves, they always put their party before our country. In the middle of a crisis where Canada’s economy is facing the prospect of crushing tariffs, the Liberals have released new ads attacking the American president to try and score political points against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
But if you are in a negotiating position, you don’t take deeply personal shots at the guy you are negotiating against. Carney and his campaign are surrounded by the highest ranks of the Liberal Party, so this ad will wear on him as well. Meanwhile, Carney goes around the country taking cheap pot shots at Trump in his speeches.
He is also promising that if he become prime minister — something that looks like a forgone conclusion — he will increase Canada’s defence spending but won’t spend money with American firms. What does he plan on doing? Sadly, we have a less than functional government in place and a governing party in a leadership race that is putting their own needs first and Canada’s last.
