I know Mr. Carney is going to try to plagiarize my policies right before the election, policies he has long opposed. But don’t believe a word. In just a few months ago, did you hear about this, Mr. Carney moved his company headquarters to New York, Donald Trump’s hometown. Shifting jobs and investment into the U.S., just like Trump wanted.
He opposed pipelines in Canada while his company bought them in the Middle East. He supported Trudeau’s carbon tax in Canada while he profited off of investing in coal in the United States of America. He put his profit before our people. Carney cashed in. Canadians lost out. If he wins, Canada loses.
But Canadians will win, and we will do it with a new bring-it-home economic plan. We will bring home our jobs, investment, and companies, and break our dependence on the United States. We will unleash a fierce free enterprise economy to bring home control of our economic future from outside forces. We will stand on our own two feet, be masters of our own destiny, and be in charge of our own future.

Copying policies that resonate with people isn’t plagiarism, it’s good politics. In fact, it’s real good politics if those policies are actually good, since no matter who wins, Canadians will win. PP is only complaining that he can’t come up with anything to distinguish himself beyond attacking anybody and everybody in the hopes that people will hate them more than they hate him.
Though I don’t think these policies are actually that amazing, that’s beside the point.
