Pierre Poilievre: “Canada cannot accept one-sided tariffs that will de-industrialise our country.”

Our real goal should not be separation, it should be restoration. It should not be to tear down our country but to build it up.

To those people who are thinking about taking out their frustration on the current government by voting for separation and the referendum, I say this: Canada is more than a government, it’s a people, a flag, a land, a history and a promise.

And that’s what we need to do — use our resources and energy to make us stronger, more affordable and more self-reliant here at home.

It all means that we have more room to travel, more room to breathe, more room to trade, more room to grow than we would have if we were isolated and alone.
