However, Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre proceeded to foster a strong political movement in a farmer’s field on election eve, which helped the Conservative Party secure its biggest popular vote share in decades. Both presidents pledged to forcefully oppose US President Donald Trump’s early, loud, and frequent threat to conquer Canada.
