Mark Carney is riding an anti-Trump wave. Will that be enough to win Canada’s election? | Erica Ifill
MOnday’s Canadian federal elections It is possible that the country’s economic future will be determined for years to come. Someone must inform the governors and the new Democratic Party (NDP). On January 6 this year, Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as prime minister and the leader of the liberal party, who has been in power since 2015. His resignation came Amid low support: The liberals have not been a majority government since 2019, and on the day that Trudeau resigned, the party registered the lowest classification for approval. 20 %. After the broken leadership race, Mark Carney became the Prime Minister of Canada and the leader of the liberal party. He is now on the verge of keeping his position.
On the other hand, the leader of the official Conservative Party of the opposition witnessed the wealth of his party seriously Decrease from 44 % Support when Trudeau resigned to 37 % on April 9. This is a battle of leadership, and while Poilievre seemed for a period of two and a half years on its way to win the upcoming elections, Donald Trump’s re -election in November. Poilievre is set flat and unable to adapt to the new environment. Now he is struggling Keep the seat.
Before Trump’s election, Poilievre formed a political conversation by attacking Trudeau, and was successful in distorting a TRDEAU policies, signing, carbon tax to combat the climate crisis. With his slogan “TaxHe blamed the carbon tax for the high cost of living. The logo was attractive and it seems that it treated the financial pressure that many families faced. It contributed to Trudeau’s climate policy and repeated allegations that Canada has contributed to classifying the approval of the former Prime Minister.
Unfortunately for Poilievre, we are now in the Trump era, where the national pride – in opposition to the American president’s promise to include Canada The state becomes 51 – I motivated the country. Giving priority to Canadian -made products, Canadian stores and Canadian culture, the country finally speaks with one voice saying, “Attached– A reference to the defensive hockey step, it has become a national cry.
The National Democratic Party also witnesses that support has fallen to its lowest level since 1993, when it won only nine seats. The party’s support fell from About 19 % At the time of Trudeau’s resignation up to 8.2 %. The performance of the commander Jagmeet Singh, not shown in the campaign’s path, may lose the official party’s status (which is required at least 12 seats) in the House of Commons. In other words, the National Democratic Party is not related.
The economy is now the focus of elections. The main question is the one who will achieve supervision is a better result of the country and its future. When asked about the ability to bear the costs while discussing the English language, the leaders, Carney responded: “The greatest risk we have to bear costs, our biggest danger to this economy is Donald Trump.” In other words, the definitions and Trump are our biggest competitors in prosperity, instead of the explosive carbon tax that Carney had in any case It has already been canceled.
In this race, Poilievre is Minnow and Carney, the former bank of Canada And the ruler of the Bank of England is the shark. Carney may be confirmed at the highest office in Canada simply by obtaining the leg record and the recruitment record required to supervise the economy, although there is no political experience.
These elections also reveal a The division of important generations. The conservatives have acquired 49 and below, while the liberals are the strongest with those over the age of 49. One of the main reasons for this is the ownership and appreciation of the assets. The oldest Canadians have homes, and they have matured investments at a health pace, especially in an inflationary economic environment. The value of their capital holdings was appreciated over time, and therefore they can benefit from increasing the prices of homes. But for those who seek to reach the property ladder, the high prices of homes have eliminated the opportunity for economic and social movement, and the rents have taken expensive many young people. Their money can only go because they have suffered from a real wage due to inflation. According to the report of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development“The real wages are still 2.4 % less than it was before the epidemic in the fourth quarter of 2019”.
Canada’s inflation made a very expensive place to live in. Housing, food and energy, for example, but not limited to. Trump’s tariff threatens to cause stagnation that can see many Canadians losing their functions, especially in the working class. Those who have less income are likely to vote, while those who hold university degrees are likely to be more than liberal supporters. Poilievre rid the liberals of the ability to bear the costs, accusing the failure party of its entire treatment; While the conservatives they have Their platform About the increasing cost of living for families, Liberal platform It is a framework for building a nation. The latter does not address the crises of the ability to afford the immediate costs that many Canadians face.
A big problem for conservatives is that women reject the party. EKOS, political polling company, Female vote is calculated 51 % for liberals, compared to 26 % for conservatives. Poilievre seems to give some ICK women. The method of aggressive communication, its severe responses to the questions and the ongoing attack is the suspension. It is difficult to find women demonstrating behind in press conferences in a men’s wall. Women are also more likely than men to vote to maintain social services, which are not the basic pillar of Poilievre. He voted against the three largest social programs funded for the public that have been designed during the past decade, including affordable children’s care and dental and pharmaceutical care.
Unfortunately, there are issues that were not addressed in these elections. English language leaders focused on right -wing conversation points such as crime, border security, energy and tariffs. Several social issues were left, allowing candidates to avoid answering questions about financing public services. If there is a recession, politicians are likely to cut social services to the bones, which improps it in a way that is not commensurate with the poor Canadians and the working class. The displacement crisis, An overdose of opium The entire climate disaster is not treated. We also need more funding for community programs to raise many marginalized people in Canada – but since the discussion did not address these issues, we have no idea about the locations of the parties.
We have not heard anything regarding the rights of the indigenous population beyond the creation of partnerships to expand pipelines. the Recommendations of truth and reconciliation It was not fully implemented. We still have a job to implement recommendations Missing and killing indigenous women and girls Promotions of infrastructure on reserves. Carney and the liberal platform have produced mysterious obligations about the rights of the indigenous population, but most of the racist Canadians were ignored in both the Carney and POILIEVRE visions.
These elections focus more on Canada and less on Canadians. It lacks solutions for those who struggle. It provides hanging policy, instead of relief and building society from A to Z. Without these, no nationalism will heal in Canadian society.
