Archive link to Breitbart article: https://archive.is/UQuX1

Recording link of the quote there's also a link in the article but it goes to Breitbart Soundcloud account :

“Before the tariff war, I would say yes. I mean, Pierre Poilievre is the name of the Conservative Party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it’s actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals,” Smith responded. “And so that’s what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now.

Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,

Usually takes a week-10 days for mainstream media to either use it, or discarde it.

Gotta keep reminding them. Eventually they may pick it up.

This article is dated March 8. They have discarded it.

It needs to be shouted loud and clear to every Canadian to hear.

They haven’t discarded it; it started getting airtime today.
