Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is withholding his stance on whether to support the premiers and prime minister's threat to impose export tariffs or restrict oil and gas supply to the US, amid escalating trade tensions sparked by Trump's 25% tariff threat. As Canada's energy industry hangs in the balance, Poilievre's silence has sparked debate. The potential tariffs could have significant impacts on Canada's oil exports, energy trade, and economic relations with the US. With the fate of Canada's energy sector uncertain, Poilievre's decision could be crucial in shaping the country's response to US trade policies.
