Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says U.S. President Donald Trump is right to think he would have an easier time dealing with a Liberal prime minister in Canada.

On Fox News on Tuesday evening, Trump was asked about the upcoming election and the fact that polls now suggest the Liberals are in the lead.

Trump said he doesn't care who wins the election but added he thinks it's easier to deal with a Liberal and took aim at Poilievre, saying he's "stupidly, no friend of mine."

While Trump complained that Poilievre says negative things about him, he quickly added that he couldn't care less about what the Conservative leader says.

At a press conference in Sudbury, Ont. this morning, Poilievre said he's a strong leader and a tough negotiator.

He claimed Prime Minister Mark Carney will "back down" from Trump and said a fourth Liberal term in office would weaken Canada.

Canada records job losses in January as labour market shows new signs of strain

Canada’s economy took a step backward in January as the country recorded a net loss of about 25,000 jobs, according to the latest Labour Force Survey released by Statistics Canada. The decline marks the first monthly drop in employment since late summer and signals renewed pressure in key sectors tied to trade and construction. The manufacturing and construction industries experienced the sharpest losses, with economists pointing to ongoing trade uncertainty and U.S. tariff pressures as contributing factors. Private-sector employment and part-time work were particularly affected, while women
