Last year he said “elbows up” to Washington. Then, months later, he put his elbows down and said “who cares?” about talks with the U.S. We can fast-forward to this year.

Here is the reality. Steel tariffs have doubled. Lumber tariffs have tripled. The manufacturing tariffs are hitting our workers here at home. After all the Liberal rhetoric and illusions, there is still no trade deal after more than a year. There is still no timeline and still no plan. At what point will the Liberals stop blaming—”
