The upcoming Canadian federal election is critical for determining the countryâs economic direction. Following Justin Trudeau's resignation amid low approval ratings, Mark Carney has taken over leadership of the Liberal party. Meanwhile, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's support has notably declined. Throughout Trudeau's tenure, Poilievre capitalized on his popularity by challenging Liberal policies, particularly the carbon tax. However, the recent political landscape, influenced by Trump's re-election, has shifted public sentiment, leaving Poilievre in a precarious position as he struggles to maintain support amidst changing national priorities.
Pierre Poilievre has seen his party's fortunes ignominiously drop from 44% support when Trudeau resigned to 37% on 9 April.
His slogan 'axe the tax' blamed the carbon tax for the rising cost of living, resonating with households facing financial difficulties.
Unfortunately for Poilievre, we are now in the era of Trump, where national pride has galvanised the country.
Mark Carney is now on the brink of retaining his position as Canadaâs prime minister after the resignation of Justin Trudeau.
