Short conversational clip from a YouTube video discussing whether Donald Trump's policies—notably tariffs introduced after his election—contributed to the Canadian Conservative Party failing to win more seats. Two speakers debate causes, with one suggesting Trump sought a weaker negotiating partner and that tariffs and related rhetoric harmed the Conservatives' prospects.
You mentioned the collapse of the NDP as probably the primary reason that the Conservatives didn't win more seats. Right. A lot of people talk about Trump's involvement, the tariffs being one of those policies that came out around that time because he just got elected. Did that have any role in the loss of the Conservative Party?
Yeah, sure. I think, you know, I think Trump wanted a weaker negotiating partner. And I think he said that. He said that part out loud. And I think he said it out loud for. For everybody to hear. You know, we're worse off today than. And every month since the election.
