Poilievre says Trudeau a 'human piñata' at NATO, still won't commit to spending goal

Pierre Poilievre says NATO allies treated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau like a human piñata at the leaders' summit this week but he still won't commit to the alliance's spending goal. The Conservative leader says Canada has lost its place on the international stage under the Liberal government, and Trudeau lectures the world without doing his part. The prime minister announced Thursday that he expects to hit NATO's defence spending target in 2032 after facing days of pressure at the three-day meeting in Washington, D.C. He did not share details about how Canada will get there. Poilievre says

Poilievre promises less interference, more economic control to Assembly of First Nations

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered his first in-person address to the Assembly of First Nations on Thursday, pledging to reduce federal intervention and empower Indigenous communities to take control of their economic futures.

"I advocate for a small government that allows individuals to make their own choices and lead their own lives." Acknowledging the expertise of the delegates, Poilievre emphasized that they understand their communities far better than Ottawa or himself, vowing to eli

Jagmeet Singh takes a dig at Poilievre in AFN

In view of the elections to be held in Canada next year, the political parties are gearing up to woo people. Meanwhile, the parties are also trying to get the support of Indigenous people.
