This election is about Donald Trump — and a lot more

working Canadians can build a better life for themselves and their families — has been undermined by the Trudeau government’s economic policies. He points to the rising cost of living, stagnant wages, and lack of affordable housing as evidence that the Liberals have failed to deliver on their promises.

In response, Poilievre has proposed a series of measures to address these issues, including tax cuts for working families, incentives for small businesses to create jobs, and reforms to the housing market to increase supply and reduce prices. He has also called for a more assertive approach to dealing with the United States, arguing that Canada must be both respectful and firm in its interactions with Trump.

But while Poilievre’s platform may resonate with some Canadians, others are skeptical of his ability to deliver on his promises. Critics point to his close ties to the oil and gas industry, his opposition to environmental regulations, and his support for controversial social policies as evidence that he is out of touch with the concerns of ordinary Canadians.

In contrast, the Liberals under Carney have positioned themselves as the party of stability and experience. Carney has emphasized his background as a respected economist and former governor of the Bank of Canada, arguing that he is uniquely qualified to navigate the economic challenges facing Canada in the wake of Trump’s return to power.

Under Carney’s leadership, the Liberals have proposed a series of measures to address the affordability crisis, including investments in affordable housing, measures to reduce the cost of childcare, and a plan to create jobs in clean energy industries. They have also pledged to work closely with international partners to address the global threats posed by Trump’s aggressive policies.

As Canadians prepare to head to the polls on April 28, they will be faced with a stark choice between two very different visions for the country’s future. Whether they choose to embrace Poilievre’s vision of a Canada that is assertive on the world stage and prioritizes economic growth, or Carney’s vision of a Canada that is compassionate, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable, will have far-reaching consequences for the country’s future.

In the end, the events of June 16, 2015, will be remembered as a turning point in Canadian politics, marking the beginning of a new era of uncertainty and upheaval. And as Canadians grapple with the challenges posed by Trump’s return to power, they will be forced to confront difficult questions about who they are as a nation and what kind of future they want to build for themselves and future generations.
