“We really want to understand how they are addressing those really big issues and in a changing context,” said Sahir Khan, now the executive vice-president of the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy (IFSD) at the University of Ottawa. Khan added the federal government is facing a worse budgetary outlook because of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and the fact the Liberals’ hike to capital gains did not become law before the campaign began.

Poilievre is going on the offensive against Trump over the U.S. president’s tariffs. At his campaign event in Milton, Ont., the Conservative leader opened by condemning Trump for keeping tariffs on Canada “all while he offered a 90-day pause on tariffs for dozens of other countries.”“It remains a mystery why the president treats Canada worse than dozens of other far-away countries who are not America’s best friend,” Poilievre said.

Hey! I’m an associate producer with CBC Politics. I’m waiting for Poilievre to speak at 10 a.m. ET in Milton, Ont., and then Carney will be speaking at 10:30 a.m. ET in Brampton, Ont. I’ll be expecting reporters to ask Carney about Canada’s response to Trump’s tariffs. The White House was unequivocal yesterday when it warned countries to not retaliate — and alluded to rewards if countries negotiate trade deals with the United States.
