OTTAWA Following a tumultuous weekend in which Donald Trump threatened Canada with steep tariffs on all goods, only to back down, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre angrily criticized the US president for bringing Canadians together right before his planned election campaign.
During these negotiations, President Trumps actions led Canadians to unite in solidarity, and that is absolutely terrible for my brand, explained Poilievre as he hastily took down a banner reading Division Is Our Strength.
Canadians are now willing to reach across aisles and work together toward solutions to benefit the whole country, and I for one hope we get over that shit real quick, Poilievre added, angrily.
Campaign insiders note this has been an unusually tough week for the Conservative leader, who had previously been polling in majority cake-walk territory. This weeks inconvenient outbreak of national pride runs contrary to Poilievres previously-planned campaign themes of East vs West, Rich vs Poor, and Everyone vs Toronto.
..........SNIP"

It's not at all far from the truth...
Cons are scrambling to find a new message now their old one about Canadian divisions are not in evidence now and unity and solidarity are in full force.
