‘Baloney’: Trudeau slams Poilievre for comments on Chinese EV tariffs

When asked why the federal government hasn’t matched U.S. tariffs on China on EVs (Electric Vehicles) as well as steel and aluminum products, something Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has called for, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau slammed the Opposition leader during an event in Napanee, Ont. on Monday. “It’s a bit of a joke Poilievre is talking about workers in the auto industry. He has said repeatedly that he wouldn’t be making these investments in our auto industry,” Trudeau said adding that it’s “baloney — he’s looking for a political angle because that’s all he does.”
