The article highlights how President Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada have had significant impacts on Canadian politics, particularly affecting the Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre as he faces challenges in the upcoming election. Gary Mar, a businessman and former government official with close ties to national politics, shares his insights into this situation. He suggests that there are two main ballot issues at play: who is best able to deal with President Trump, and who can run the economy effectively. The tariff situation, or as Canada calls it, the trade war, influences both of these concerns. Mar believes understanding Trump’s motives for imposing the tariffs – such as increasing U.S. manufacturing, generating revenue for tax cuts, balancing the trade deficit, and creating leverage for non-trade purposes – is crucial in navigating this complex political landscape.
