Poilievre says he’d fight Trump economic policies, tariffs ‘with fire’

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is vowing to “fight fire with fire” and address U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s economic protectionism with policies aimed at attracting investment and higher wages in Canada. Poilievre told Jas Johal on Corus Radio station CKNW in Vancouver on Friday he also supports increased security at the U.S.-Canada border, but downplayed fears that Trump’s promised mass deportations will lead to an influx of migrants seeking to enter Canada.Corus Entertainment is the parent company of Global News.Johal asked how Poilievre would plan to deal with Trump if he imposed tariffs on Canada, as he’s promised a blanket 10-per cent tariff on all foreign imports to the U.S.“First of all, we should be exempt from all these tariffs.

Photo: AFP Ireland survived a fierce second-half comeback from Argentina to narrowly defeat the Pumas 22-19 in Dublin and just about bounce back from last week's disappointing loss to New Zealand. Ireland led 22-9 at halftime after ruthlessly punishing an early Argentina yellow card with two tries in the first seven minutes from Jack Crowley and Mack Hansen. Joe McCarthy added a third after Tomas Albornoz had kept the visitors in touch. A very different Argentina side emerged after the break with Juan Cruz Mallia slicing the hosts open and Albornoz cutting the lead to just three points before Ireland composed themselves, in no small part thanks to an impressive debut off the bench from 21-year-old flyhalf Sam Prende...
