In recent interviews, Poilievre has said he is communicating regularly with Carney to present a united front while travelling abroad. "Tragically, we travelled to Tumbler Ridge together and got to know each other a little better," said Poilievre. "I thought he performed very admirably as a prime minister on that trip." Poilievre, Carney and Governor General Mary Simon are seen holding hands at a vigil for the victims of the shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., last month. He said he raised this with the prime minister the next time they spoke.
