Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre warned against Canada attempting to replace trade with the United States with that of other countries in a rebuttal to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent address to Canadians.

In a video posted to social media on April 20, Poilievre said Carney has not presented a viable plan to replace more than 2 million Canadian jobs that rely on trade with the United States.
