Poilievre needs to ‘bomb the bridge’ of Carney’s credibility to win one of Canada’s ‘most consequential’ elections, say political players

It's considered one of the most consequential elections in Canadian history, as Canada faces down U.S. President Donald Trump. The Liberals had been trailing the Conservatives by 25 points for almost two years, up until January. Now, they're leading by 14 points, a dramatic 39-point swing in just two months and under a new, untested political leader. It could come down to the wire with three weeks left in the campaign.

Carney cabinet gets off to a rocky start

OpinionBY EDITORIAL

Last week, some of Mark Carney's cabinet ministers looked like rookies, and their lack of political savviness could drag down the cabinet at a time when Carney has the chance to successfully lead the country through this transformational time in history and potentially become a rallying point for the Western world.
