Poilievre needs to ‘bomb the bridge’ of Carney’s credibility to win one of Canada’s ‘most consequential’ elections, say political players

As one of the “most consequential” election campaigns enters its third week, the Liberals are leading in the polls, and if the Conservatives hope to win, they will need to seriously undermine Mark Carney’s credibility—much like Brian Mulroney’s Tories did to John Turner’s Liberals in the 1988 campaign.

“Remember, in 1988, the Tories said that they had to bomb the bridge on John Turner,” said Greg Lyle, president of Innovative Research, in an interview with The Hill Times. “Well, the job of the Tories in 2025 is to bomb the bridge of Carney’s credibility.”
