Poilievre soaring in polls – so the Liberals are campaigning against Trump

Polls have consistently put the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre in firm majority territory, with some showing the Liberals almost in third place behind the NDP. The Liberals have responded by embracing their favourite pastime – importing American political fights. Justin Trudeau’s and the Liberal party’s attacks on the Conservatives are increasingly about Donald Trump, True North’s Andrew Lawton points out.
