Poilievre’s agenda is radically different than Carney’s and it’s frightening says woman who thought Hugo Chavez was the Cat’s Pajamas

A deeply flawed argument has slipped into the national election conversation.

It goes like this: there isn’t much policy difference between front-runners Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre, so it really comes down to who can best handle Donald Trump.

True, handling the U.S. president is job one and polls show Carney more trusted on this file. But the first part of the argument — that the two men have similar policies — is fundamentally wrong and dangerously misleading.

It’s true what they say about progressives every accusation is a confession.

LILLEY: No new tariffs from Trump a hit to Carney’s campaign

It’s not quite a presidential pardon, but we could call it a reprieve. Canada didn’t get any additional tariffs as U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated what he called “Liberation Day.”

Trump has been talking about new tariffs on Canada for months; he even went on a rant during his Rose Garden ceremony about how he sees Canada’s dairy industry as ripping off American farmers.

Jesse Kline: Mark Carney’s five-year plan for Soviet-style housing

If we look past all the name-calling, scandals and competing tax cuts, this election fundamentally comes down to one question: do Canadians trust the Liberals to do now what they have failed to do over the past decade? Judging by the party’s newly released housing plan, the answer should be a resounding “no.”

Toronto Police Association Asks Carney, Poilievre to Provide Stance on Bail Reform, Gun Buyback

The Toronto Police Association has sent letters to the federal Liberal and Conservative leaders to find out their positions on “major” public safety issues such as bail reform and the federal gun buyback program.

Much of the electoral campaign has so far revolved around responding to U.S. tariffs and building the Canadian economy, while the police association said community safety remains a priority and “can never be an afterthought.”

PINDER: Carney, a climate-warrior first and always

By any measure, Mark Carney’s resume is impressive. Mostly from Wikipedia, he was born in 1965, the son of a high school principal. The family moved from the Northwest Territories to Edmonton where his father was a Liberal candidate in the 1980 Canadian federal election. His mother returned to university to pursue a career in education when Carney was 10. He has an older brother and sister and a younger brother.

‘This cannot stand in Canada’: advocates push Liberals to showcase ‘zero tolerance’ after downplaying former candidate’s China bounty comments

Despite an eventual resignation, the initial decision by Liberal Leader Mark Carney to back a candidate after learning he had made light of a Chinese government bounty on the head of a Conservative rival has diaspora community advocates on the front lines of the foreign interference threat saying they’ve lost confidence in the party’s commitment to protect them from transnational repression.

Yet, while Paul Chiang, the incumbent Liberal candidate in Markham-Unionville, Ont., eventually announced late on March 31 he would be standing aside so as not to “cause a distraction in this critical moment,” his delayed departure and Carney’s initial confidence have already caused damage.

Mark Carney poses a threat to national unity

Because of the vastness of Canada’s territory, the differing interests of its various regions, the abundance of competing economic and social interests, and the weakened state of democratic instruments for reconciling conflicting interests, national unity will be a perpetual challenge for whomever we choose to form our national government.

Recent polling by Pollara Strategic Insights shows a temporary decline in support for secession in Quebec but, paradoxically, support for the separatist Parti Québécois remains high. Were the PQ to win the next provincial election in Quebec as predicted, it has promised to hold another referendum on secession. And so the next federal government, no matter who forms it, will be faced yet again with a challenge to national unity on the Quebec front.

I hope she refuses that filthy Canadian lucre on principle

I’m a proud Anishinaabe who asserts my Indigenous sovereignty. That’s why I won’t vote

I was 13 when my mom taught me an important lesson: I am not Canadian — I am Anishinaabe, and it’s the reason I will not participate in a colonial political system or vote in this year’s federal election.

We were sitting on the crowded bleachers of my school gymnasium when silence fell and a familiar song followed.

John Ivison: Carney’s trick is not talking about his climate policies. So far, it’s working

Pierre Poilievre put forward a solid pitch to voters during his visit to St. John’s on Tuesday, focusing on the “lost Liberal decade” and the policies that contributed to the “poorest growth in the G7.”

He used a letter sent to political leaders by the CEOs of Canada’s 14 largest energy companies as a frame for his case, contrasting Conservative positions with those of Mark Carney’s Liberals on five key demands: the need to simplify regulations by overhauling C-69, the Impact Assessment Act; the need to ensure major projects are approved within six months; the removal of the cap on oil sands emissions the CEOs argue will shrink production; the requirement to kill the carbon tax on large emitters; and the desirability of creating ownership opportunities for Indigenous Canadians by extending federal loan guarantees.

The Paul Chiang affair is now a ‘teachable moment’ for Canadians about Mark Carney

A fundamental moral principle: You don’t get a s’okay, all forgiven, for a stupendous lapse of judgment.

You don’t get to erase the delinquency only after the conduct breach has become public.

You don’t get to offer a palpably expedient (unsolicited and unaccepted) apology when the wrongdoing is exposed.

And you especially don’t get to do any of that — in an X post at two minutes to midnight, following reports that the RCMP is looking into the matter — when you represent a political party that has been steeped in ethical violations.

Jamie Sarkonak: Liberals offended by Poilievre’s compassion for ‘biological clock’ problem

We have officially reached the point in the election campaign where expressing compassion for those struggling to find the funds to comfortably start a family lands you the charge of … misogyny.

It all sprung from Monday’s Conservative press conference in Saint John, N.B., where leader Pierre Poilievre was asked about his plan to “turn things around,” and whether a change in campaign leadership was on the table. It was a valid question — it’s no secret that the polls, at this point, favour the Liberals, and that some provincial Conservatives have been backseat campaigning to the press.

‘There’s a disconnect’: Conservative candidate in GTA battleground thinks Liberal-led polls are missing something

Costas Menegakis’s message to party HQ has been that the Conservatives’ spotlight on the cost of living is resonating in his suburban GTA riding

RICHMOND HILL, ONT. — Not helpful. That’s how one Conservative candidate and former MP describes calls from a prominent Ontario strategist for the federal Tory campaign to shift its messaging.

“I don’t dance around things,” said Costas Menegakis from his second-floor campaign office in Richmond Hill, Ont., a city of nearly 212,000 outside of Toronto.
