Could Poilievre Blow It?

"The federal race tightens
{"alt":"Click image for larger version Name:\tLib. Pty. Can..png Views:\t0 Size:\t6.1 KB ID:\t240128","data-align":"none","data-attachmentid":"240128","data-size":"small"}For the past 18 months, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party has been the odds-on favourite to defeat the Liberals in the next federal election. At first, the gap between them was modest: In August, 2023, Nanos Research had the Conservatives up by four percentage points. Then, it was decisive, widening to 15 points by the summer of 2024. And then the advantage was colossal: At the start of 2025, ballot support favoured the Conservatives with a whopping 47 per cent to the Liberals’ 20. But you know what happened next. Justin Trudeau said he would step down as prime minister. Bold-faced names emerged to take his place. And newly inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump went on an absolute tear, threatening to impose hefty tariffs on Canadian imports or maybe just make Canada the 51st state. Those three events have led a growing number of Canadians to drift back to the Liberals. To be clear: The federal election, which could be called as early as March 10, is still very much Poilievre’s race to lose. But while the polls vary on the extent of this shift in public sentiment – Abacus has the Conservatives ahead by 19 points; Nanos and Leger have slashed the lead to eight or nine points – there’s no disputing the direction of the trend."

Conservative Party Platform - Capital Gains Tax
"Pierre Poilievre is touting a capital gains tax break in wake of reports of internal party tension.The Conservative leader stressed the ballot box question in this campaign is still about his slogans — but it’s also about U.S. President Donald Trump. This slight shift comes after recent calls for Poilievre’s team to respond more forcefully to Trump’s tariff war. On Sunday, Poilievre announced he would ensure any person or business selling an asset would pay no capital gains tax — with one condition. Take a look."
