At the same time, Poilievre questioned whether the Liberals effectively handled the fentanyl crisis and whether Trump's tariff actions can be justified. He concluded that the answer to both questions is no.

British Columbia's finance minister is preparing to deliver a budget today that she says will brace the province against four years of "uncertainty and disorder" amid the U.S. presidency of Donald Trump.
