British MP Throws Poutine Party to Show Canada Support
Ed Davey, leader of the U.K.’s Liberal Democrats, staged a publicity stunt at a Canadian-themed pub to demonstrate support for Canada amidst President Trump’s tariffs. Davey’s actions, including a call for Prime Minister Starmer to visit Canada, highlight the growing British concern over Trump’s trade policies impacting both the UK and Canada. While the Prime Minister offered a more measured response, subtle gestures of support from the Royal Family, including King Charles’s display of Canadian medals and the planting of a maple tree, suggest a broader, albeit largely symbolic, British show of solidarity with Canada. Davey’s political stunts, a hallmark of his leadership, aim to galvanize public support for specific causes.
