Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is giving his main political rival credit for tapping into Canadians’ concerns about affordability, but says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lacks workable solutions.
In a year-end interview with CBC News chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton, Trudeau agreed that Poilievre tapped into affordability concerns well before the Liberals.
“It does seem, though, that Pierre Poilievre understood that [affordability concern] and tapped into that long before you did,” Barton told the prime minister.
“It’s not that he understood that,” Trudeau said in response. “It’s that he’s done a really effective job of reflecting that back and amplifying that to people.”
