Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was the first of the major party leaders to launch his election campaign on March 23, holding a media event in Gatineau, Que., in the late morning.
Like other party leaders, his campaign speech was heavily focused on U.S. President Donald Trump and his tariffs on Canada and remarks about wanting Canada to be a part of the United States, with Poilievre saying he is the right person to deal with the Trump presidency.
