A commentary argues that recent tariffs have boosted Liberal support against Conservative leader Paul Yeves, and urges pausing the trade dispute until after the election. The speaker endorses Pierre Poilievre as the best negotiator, citing his pro-development stance, low-cost energy policies, and opposition to what they call woke politics.

Paul Yeves is the name of the Conservative Party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of the, what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it's actually caused an increase in the support for the Liberals. And so that's what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now. So I would hope that we could put things on pause. This is what I've told administration officials. Let's just put things on pause so we can get through an election. Let's have the best person at the table make the argument for how they would deal with it. And I think that's Pierre Poilievre. And I do agree with you that if we, if we do have Pierre as our prime minister, then I think that there's a number of things that we could do together. Pierre believes in development. He believes in low-cost energy. He believes that we need to have low taxes. Doesn't believe in any of the woke stuff that we've seen taking over our politics for the last 5 years. So I would think that there'd be, there's probably still a there's always going to be areas that are skirmishes or disputes about particular industries when it comes to the border. But I would say on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think, where the new direction in America. And I think we'd have a really great relationship for the period of time they're both in.
