The Canada Conservative Party published its official platform on Tuesday, promising millions of dollars in expense cuts while lowering taxes and increases spending on the application of the law and border control.
The party leader, Pierre Poilievre, announced the publication of the platform three days after his rival, the leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister Mark Carney, published his, one day after Canada finished his early voting letter. A 7.3 million Canadian record cast His tickets this weekend, according to the elections of Canada, the government agency that directs the elections. The number, in addition to being a record, marks a 25 percent increase in the number of people who vote early from the 2021 electoral cycle that saw the radical leftist prime minister Justin Trudeau maintain their control over power.
Trudeau vacant The position, and the leadership of the Liberal Party, in January, after a disastrous visit to Florida at the end of 2024 in which he tried to convince the then elected president Donald Trump not to impose rates in the country. Trump mocked Trudeau, referring to him as the “governor” of the “state” of Canada and repeatedly threatening to annex the country.
Carney won the internal race of the Liberal Party to direct the political faction for a landslide, defeating Trudeau’s confidant, Chrystia Freeland. He became Prime Minister without having maintained or even run for a political position in his career.
Before directing the Canadian government, Carney served as head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, and more recently Hero to Senior role In the finance firm Brookfield Asset Management.

The conservative party campaign has been largely focused on the cost of living for the middle -class Canadian and Canadian, as well as promising significant falls in taxes on income, properties and capital gains. The platform published on Tuesday offered a plan to reduce government deficit by 70 percent while reducing most taxes. This, Pailievre explained In the launch of the plan, “with less expense in bureaucracy, consultants, foreign aid and brochures to special experts and interests, while increasing growth with resource work”.
“The platform forecasts $ 100 billion in deficit in the next four years, along with billions of dollars in tax cuts and new income,” Global News reported. “Pailievre said conservatives believe they can reduce the projected size of the deficit in this fiscal year, $ 46.8 billion, to $ 31.3 billion through higher income and cuts of expenses.”
The increase in income, the conservatives promised, would come from increasing tariffs, particularly in US assets. The platform said that tariffs only on US goods would raise $ 20 billion this year.
Pailievre too fiance A significant impulse in spending to protect Canada’s borders. President Trump, announcing tariffs on Canadian goods this year that has stopped sub -posteriorly, tasting The failure of the Trudeau government to properly monitor the border between the United States and Canada as an important factor in its decision. If Pailievre’s plan to ensure the border triumphs, would eliminate an important reason for Trump tariffs and, therefore, a main factor in Canada that imposes the “counter-tarifas” that conservatives are predicting Wolds for their taxes.
However, in addition to tariffs, conservatives suggested that the cancellation of expectant liberal government programs and to a large extent dysfunctional, as a national weapons repurchase program, would also finance border security.

In another part of the platform, conservatives are promising Greater support for the application of the law and plans to place more criminals after bars for a longer time.
The conservative plan proposes, for example, perpetual chains for people convicted of a variety of crimes, including people trafficking and fentanyl.
In contrast to the conservative platform, the Liberal Playy platform published on Saturday proposed Increase in government expenditure to $ 130 billion.
The Carney Plan focuses largely on spending to protect Canadian companies from Trump’s rates now postponed and invest strongly in the failed social programs of Canada, including their health system, which has had the United Nations he has had. condemned To encourage patients to commit suicide instead of offering medical care.
Almost completely absent from the campaign is the dire attempts of the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate the elections and influence Canadian politics. The Canadian government revealed At the beginning of April, “non -authentic coordinated behavior” was discovered, apparently originated in China, the Mark Carney promotion, but ruled out it as ineffective. Carney recently traveled to China, in October, as part of her role with Brookfield Asset Management and, according to the state media there, encouraged foreign companies to invest there.
Poilievre has mentioned the apparent ties of Carney when passing, especially the given Chinese alarm admitting To kill Canadian citizens for doubtful positions of “drugs”, but has mainly focused its message on improving the cost of living and low taxes in Canada.
Current surveys show liberals with consistent but thin leadership against conservatives, a dramatic investment of surveys in January that shows conservatives who have a two -digit advantage in most surveys. The CBC Average Or recently, national surveys or Wednesday showed the Carney Party with 42.7 percent support, compared to Pailievre with 38.3 percent. The new Democratic Party (NDP), an extreme left party that usually competes with the liberals by the votes, has failed to eliminate any significant percentage of support from the duration of liberals in this cycle.
