What will Poilievre’s foreign policy be? Ambassadors are looking for clues
They would only speak about the matter if they were not directly identified, citing the risk of compromising diplomatic relations.
Since becoming leader nearly a year ago, Poilievre has tailored some foreign-policy planks to diaspora communities in Canada, such as pledging to have an airline establish a direct flight from Canada to Amritsar, an Indian city that is the centre of the Sikh faith. Genuis has argued the proposals fall in line with a Conservative vision of foreign policy based on Canadian principles, even if they could result in more expensive goods or diplomatic pushback.And at a panel in March, deputy leader Melissa Lantsman hinted at broader Tory priorities.
Lantsman suggested Canada could be a member of fewer international groups while ramping up its involvement in a select few, though she did not specify which: “You’ve got to pick the tables that you that you sit at more carefully.” Keller noted that O’Toole’s foreign policy was heavily influenced by Harper-era foreign-policy adviser Shuvaloy Majumdar, who was elected last month as a Calgary MP. He said he expects Majumdar and Calgary MP Stephanie Kusie, who worked as a Canadian diplomat in Latin America and Texas, to help shape Poilievre’s approach.Story continues below advertisement
