Once poised for power, Canada’s Pierre Poilievre now trails in polls, and analysts say one man is to blame for the slide; here's who it is

Trump’s public criticism of Poilievre and his aggressive trade stance have shaken Canadian voter confidence. With Liberal leader Mark Carney gaining momentum, voters are turning toward stability over populism.
