Pierre Poilievre
Whether it is a personal animus towards Justin Trudeau or habitual behaviour, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, pictured, is doing neither the nation nor his party any favours by making accusations against him, writes Tim Powers. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

News | BY STUART BENSON | October 22, 2025
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's recent call for federal spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion 'to die' is a renewal of his party's campaign promise to end 'failed policies with little resonance for average Canadians,' says Crestview Strategy's Ashton Arsenault.

Pierre Poilievre
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre, pictured Oct. 9, 2025, on the Hill. The voices which once mainly focused on pushing economic issues are fading away, which will likely have at least some influence on the direction the Conservative party will take under Poilievre, writes Gerry Nicholls.

Opinion | BY MATT GURNEY | October 6, 2025
Prime Minister Mark Carney heads into Question Period on Sept. 24, 2025. It's worth remembering that Carney is a PM who is lopsidedly putting his chips down on his ties to and skill with foreign leaders, particularly Europeans. It's clearly something that he himself sees as one of his strong suits, writes Matt Gurney. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade

Opinion | BY MICHAEL HARRIS | October 6, 2025
Despite Canadians’ grave, enduring doubts about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, Prime Minister Mark Carney's upcoming budget could work to his advantage. The pre-budget speculation has focused on two politically volatile issues: the nature of cuts the government will impose, and the size of the federal deficit, writes Michael Harris.
