With Poilievre expected to win the leadership, Liberals and Conservatives speculating about a snap general election this fall

If an election were to happen this fall, it would only benefit the Conservatives, not the Liberals, say pollsters Nik Nanos and Frank Graves.

Ottawa Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre is the prohibitive front-runner in the current Conservative leadership election. It's highly speculative, but some Conservative and Liberal insiders say that if he were to win the leadership contest, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could call a snap election in the fall or at the earliest possible opportunity.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government deserves credit for adopting a more pragmatic approach. It has not gone unnoticed in Beijing, writes Bhagwant Sandhu. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

On China, Carney practices statecraft

OpinionBY BHAGWANT SANDHU
  • The question in foreign affairs is not if diplomatic risk exists, but how it is managed. As the government balances that reality, the Conservative response appears rooted to domestic constituencies rather than moored in a coherent vision of Canada’s place in a fragmented global economy.
