'Wake me up when there’s a steel pipe going in the dirt': Poilievre - National Post

Article contentParliament has finally resumed amid major challenges confronting Canada, including ongoing trade conflict with the U.S., an economic slowdown, affordability concerns, and threats to national unity. The National Post’s Rob Breakenridge is joined by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for a conversation about how — or whether — the government is rising to these challenges and what the opposition believes the moment calls for. We’ll discuss Poilievre’s speech this week in Edmonton where he made the case for rejecting Alberta separatism, and find out why he thinks this issue has flared up.

The Conservative leader expressed skepticism about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s newly found enthusiasm for the oil and gas industry. We’ll also touch on Poilievre’s proposal for meaningful and lasting steps to address affordability, whether the Conservatives might support Bill C-39, and what they want to see and hear from the prime minister when it comes to the trade standoff with the U.S. WATCH THE FULL VIDEO DIRECTLY BELOW.
