During the recent French-language leaders’ debate in Montreal, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre questioned Liberal Leader Mark Carney about his pursuit of a fourth term, to which Carney defended himself by claiming, “I just got here.” Notably, Carney’s French was described as rudimentary, featuring uncommon terms, while Poilievre attempted humor with limited success. Additionally, Poilievre and his fellow candidates referenced U.S. strawberries, likely targeting Carney, who had previously commented on his eating habits regarding American produce.
