But Poilievre, who polls suggest could become prime minister in the next federal election, repeatedly refused Thursday to say whether Canada's energy exports should be part of a Canadian retaliatory strategy. Poilievre's dodge came after Alberta's leader broke ranks with her provincial counterparts and Trudeau and refused to support any plan that did not have a carve-out for oil and gas.

Hey, Pollievre said something definitive? Hopefully people are listening that he cares more about oil and gas than the entirety of the country.

Ontario can lose all its manufacturing jobs, but we have to protect oil and gas. BC can burn and flood, but we have to protect oil and gas.

Poilievre at one point challenged a question on energy tariffs, saying he didn't understand it because “we don't import almost any oil and gas from the Americans, at least raw oil and gas. We mostly export it.” Canada’s energy regulator says the U.S. remains the top destination for Canadian crude oil, but also says the U.S. is the largest source of Canada’s imported crude oil, with 72.4 per cent of Canada’s oil imports originating from the U.S. that same year.

I've seen "I love oil and gas" advertising... It's a mental illness.
