Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre will soon unveil his strategy to counter Trump-era tariffs. In an interview, Poilievre stated that he will detail his agenda and approach to addressing Trump's economic threat to Canada in the coming days.

Poilievre also expressed the belief that Canada should impose tariffs on goods from the United States in response to Trump's actions. Additionally, he discussed the potential repeal of the capital gains tax increase, warning that if investors do not have confidence that a future Conservative government will reverse the tax hike, Canada could lose billions of dollars in investment.

Poilievre emphasized that this is why he is signaling to the market that they should not pull the money out of Canada. It is worth noting that, according to election polls, the Conservative Party, under Poilievre’s leadership, could form the next government.
