Canada Election 2025: Trump becomes key focus in French-language debate between Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre

In the first French-language debate of the 2025 Canadian election, PM Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre clashed over how to address Donald Trump's aggressive policies. Carney emphasised his ability to handle Trump's threats, while Poilievre criticised the Liberal's long tenure. A surge in Canadian nationalism, fueled by Trump's rhetoric, has boosted the Liberals in polls ahead of the April 28 vote.
