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,

No, we don't and have never needed a majority government. A coalition of LPC, NDP, and BQ would be able to nimbly respond to American threats (because we're all in agreement on that) while preventing a further slide into neoliberalism in the housing market.

If the Liberals gain a majority government and don't hard pivot away from neoliberalism the CPC will be an insurmountable threat next election.

The NDP and BQ are in strong alignment in opposing American expansionism. We can do better than a Liberal majority.

    I don’t agree because Monsieur Trompf is our greatest source of threat right now, and presenting him with a coalition of the willing instead of a strong leader is a mistake.

    IMHO, of course.
