Despite dip in polls, Conservative path to victory remains possible, say political players

The ongoing trade war with the United States and Justin Trudeau’s exit as prime minister have significantly altered the political landscape for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, but some believe his path to victory lies in a sharp focus on the cost of living and trade tariffs, placing their hopes on the upcoming leaders’ debates—where they expect him to “wipe the floor” with Liberal Leader Mark Carney.

Carney Hardest Hit: Trump’s tariffs won’t cause out-of-control prices in Canada, economists say — some could even go down

As the U.S. goes head-to-head with China in an unforeseen trade battle that will raise the cost of almost everything south of the border, many Canadians are wondering what it means for their wallets.

While experts worry about the Canadian economy slowing down, and many predict global costs are headed up due to Donald Trump’s tariffs, some argue Canadian prices on electronics, clothing, food, appliances and other consumer products will not immediately skyrocket as a result.

In fact, RBC is currently predicting that inflation at the end of 2025 will remain close to the Bank of Canada’s target of two per cent.

‘The truth hurts’: Poilievre wouldn’t be losing if he had my campaign manager, Doug Ford says

OTTAWA — Ontario Premier Doug Ford fired off another salvo in the on-again, off-again battle between his provincial Progressive Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party, saying his own campaign manager would have avoided the federal party’s current election woes.

With the Conservatives lagging behind Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s party since the beginning of the campaign, after enjoying a huge polling lead for the better part of two years, Poilievre’s strategy has been the subject of wide-ranging scrutiny.

Lots of flack over this statement below.

Poilievre says he’ll use notwithstanding clause to ensure multiple-murderers die in prison

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he’ll ensure multiple-murderers die in jail by becoming the first Canadian prime minister to override Charter rights by invoking the notwithstanding clause.

“Conservatives believe a punishment should be proportionate to the crime. If you kill multiple people you should spend the rest of your life behind bars,” he said in a video promoting the policy. “Multiple-murderers should only come out in a box.”

People convicted of first-degree murder in Canada are ineligible for parole for 25 years.

GUNTER: Carney Liberals capitalize on older voters’ fear of change, disruption

With just two weeks to go before federal election day, this appears to have become a campaign between the past and the future. The Liberals represent the past. They appear likely to win because voters 55 and older will vote disproportionately for Mark Carney and his party.

This week’s debates may be a turning point if Carney flops and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre can be more prime minister than smart-aleck.

We spoke to voters who are ‘truly undecided.’ Here’s why Poilievre and Carney are both failing to win them over

An online panel discussion of readers hosted by The Star this week found that to be undecided in this election is not to be unopinionated, inattentive, or untroubled.

In fact, the undecided voters, who gathered in an online video chat, were deeply concerned about their country’s future, absorbing as much information as possible and taking their vote exceedingly seriously.

Variously known as swing voters, “floaters,” and “persuadables,” they are doing their due diligence in working towards a vote they feel comfortable with.

The generational fault line that could shake up the federal election

Pollsters and political campaigners don’t deny it; there’s a generational fault line in the federal election. Boomers are leaning toward the Liberals, since Mark Carney won the LPC leadership. And younger generations (Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z), angry about the cost of living, endorse the platform of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.

Admittedly, it’s an odd dynamic. Younger people preferring a conservative government and seniors wanting to retain a progressive status quo. I’m a boomer with Millennial kids, so this is personal.

Why?

Protecting. Home. Equity. Means. Supporting. Mass. Immigration.

Young. People. Cannot. Afford. To. Buy. Or. Rent.

Poilievre accuses Liberals of mixed messaging as candidate calls Gaza war ‘genocide’

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing the Liberals of mixed messaging over the war in Gaza as video emerged of one candidate calling the crisis a “genocide” just days after leader Mark Carney clarified his own remarks.

Poilievre’s comments were in response to a reporter’s question which referenced, in part, a video of Liberal candidate Adam van Koeverden speaking at a mosque.

Canada’s New Prime Minister Is as Dishonest as the Old One

After enduring ten years of the far-left misrule of the vapid and eternally callow Justin Trudeau, Canada has a new prime minister, but not any new ideas or any change of direction at the top: the new boss, Mark Carney, is the same as the old boss, a shallow leftist ideologue without an original thought in his entire sorry cerebellum, which is filled instead with the usual talking points of the leftist establishment that still wields power in much of the Western world.

The Liberals’ margin of error on polls

This week, supporters of the Conservative Party showed up at campaign event in Brampton, Ont., sporting T-shirts and carrying banners that read, “Do you believe the polls?” The next day, reporters were asking Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre if he believes the polls – and whether he would accept the outcome of the election on April 28.

Mr. Poilievre had an unambiguous response. “Yes,” he said. That is the right one-word answer, with no following ifs, ands or buts.

Puts the slanderous Carney in his place.

I sense there may exist a silent support for Poilievre that the pollsters are missing. As with Trump support they see no need to go public.
