A darling of the American right, Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative leader, is facing an electorate worried about Trump’s vow to annex Canada.

Trump has pledged to slap Canada with 25 percent tariffs in response to a growing list of grievances. It started with complaints about what Canadian leaders say are small amounts of fentanyl and illegal migration entering the U.S. from Canada, but has since expanded to include banking, and the trade deficit.

Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, pledged on Saturday to respond forcefully to tariffs imposed by President Trump that harm the Canadian people or their economy.
