Recording link of the quote there's also a link in the article but it goes to Breitbart Soundcloud account :

“Before the tariff war, I would say yes. I mean, Pierre Poilievre is the name of the Conservative Party leader, and he was miles ahead of Justin Trudeau. But because of what we see as unjust and unfair tariffs, it’s actually caused an increase in the support for the liberals,” Smith responded. “And so that’s what I fear, is that the longer this dispute goes on, politicians posture, and it seems to be benefiting the Liberals right now. So I would hope that we could put things on pause is what I’ve told administration officials. Let’s just put things on pause so we can get through an election.”

Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,

It could and maybe should be construed as manipulating a foreign nation into treating us more favorably, rather than assuming she's telling U.S. reps the truth. But I don't mean to say I think it's any less damning. It still flirts with soliciting foreign interference in our elections. And it still acknowledges the alignment in values Conservatives are trying to deny even though we can all see it plain as day.
