Ottawa : Federal Election Heats Up Over Economic Strategy With the Canadian federal election approaching on April 28, 2025, the Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, and the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, are locked in a tight race.
Polls suggest the Liberals hold a slight edge, driven by promises to build nearly 500,000 homes annually and counter U.S. tariff threats. Meanwhile, Poilievre’s pledge for a “National Energy Corridor” aims to bolster economic resilience, though internal party dysfunction has raised concerns. The tariff issue has turned the campaign into a referendum on leadership in the face of U.S. economic pressure.
