Prior to the Conservatives unveiling their election platform, over seven million Canadians had already cast their votes, indicating a significant segment of the electorate was not inclined to evaluate party platforms. Polling experts suggest that this delay in releasing key platforms reflects parties' beliefs that such documents may not hold much sway with voters this election cycle, particularly given the focus on U.S. President Trump's tariffs and policies, which have overshadowed traditional voter concerns like deficits and taxes.
In the past, those platforms came a lot earlier because parties knew or believed that voters would very much pay attention to deficits and taxes.
Poll after poll showed voters have Trump in mind, and itâs been very difficult to get voters to focus on something else.
