Pierre For Now Goes Further Than Trudeau.

Trudeau will announce a second round of tariffs in three weeks. Pierre is pushing now for dollar-for-dollar tariffs, including on steel and aluminium. His other points that are part of his Canada-first retaliatory tariffs include: approaching American states that will be up for grabs in the 2026 election cycle, bringing in a tax cut based on tariff revenue, boosting interprovincial trade and removing tariff barriers, injecting funds to strengthen our military, approving natural resource projects and securing the border. 

So far, so good, but he needs to take a clear position on oil and gas, electricity, hydro, nuclear, and other energy projects. Does he support retaliatory tariffs in these sectors? Yes or No? No federal politician can cop out on this one. There cannot be and will not be any special carve-outs in any sector. Pierre already knows the rest of the country won't stand for that. It's in our interest in the CPC to remember which way the national wind is blowing.
