On housing, the Conservatives have identified a key reason buying a home has become so unaffordable — layers upon layers of taxes and fees. Poilievre's housing plan involves cutting the GST from homes under $1.3 million and reimbursing municipalities for cutting development charges, taking about $100,000 off the price of an average home in Vancouver or Toronto.

Thursday evening’s English-language leaders’ debate was much less focused specifically on Trump, to an almost bizarre extent. When moderator Steve Paikin offered each leader a chance to ask a question of an opponent, Liberal Leader Mark Carney chose to ask Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre about the security-clearance drama.

Since Mark Carney became Prime Minister on March 9, the Liberals have been leading in most opinion polls. The reason for this significant shift was fear, anger and revulsion about U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. This, in turn, was combined with an unfounded belief that Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was Trump’s Canadian equivalent, in spite of the fact the two leaders have vastly different political and ideological beliefs.
