Canadian businessman and journalist Kevin O'Leary said on American broadcast television President-elect Donald Trump should invite Tory leader Pierre Poilievre to Mar-a-Lago.O’Leary compared Canada and Mexico’s leadership, and said he observes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t up for the task of meeting the incoming president’s standards.He suggested Canada's “unpopular leader” has already “checked out of Dodge,” and Trump would be better off dealing with Poilievre directly. O’Leary appeared on Fox News Tuesday night to discuss Trump’s recent threat to slap 25% tariffs on goods coming in through America’s northern and southern borders, citing rampant illegal immigration and hard drug trafficking in both countries. .“The challenge with the Canadian situation, different than the Mexican, Trudeau is a really unpopular leader, and in the parliamentary system, he'll be getting whacked soon,” said O’Leary.“Trump will not be negotiating with Trudeau. He'll be dealing with a guy named Pierre Poilievre, who’ll get the majority mandate.”“I think Trump should invite him down to Mar-a-Lago now.”“He'll be dealing with Pierre. He might as well.”“Here's what Poilievre already said: ‘I'm going to lift the ban on pipelines. I'm going to kill the carbon tax. I'm going to open all kinds of investment in Canada.”“That's Trump's kind of guy.”Polls show Poilievre and his Conservative party will win a supermajority in the next election. Trudeau’s ratings by contrast continue to hit new lows.
