Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre made his case for a closer alliance between the Commonwealth nations of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom (CANZUK) during a speech in London.
The Conservative leader told the audience at an event organized by the Centre for Policy Studies that such a pact would build on security and freedom by “bringing together the long-standing ties” that have united Anglo-nations in the past.
