The Spin
Right narrative
Canada needs fundamental change to become more self-reliant and less dependent on the US. The current Liberal approach has led to blocked energy projects, high costs of living, and unchecked immigration. The Conservative plan to cut taxes, unleash natural resources, and bring back jobs will strengthen Canada's position. Pierre Poilievre can fix a broken Canada and has a shot at winning a strong, stable, national Conservative government.
Left narrative
Earlier this year, "polls" suggested Poilievre was destined for a majority government. However, the political landscape turned upside down when Trump entered the White House and Carney became the prime minister. The trade war with the US is the most significant crisis threatening Canadian sovereignty and economic stability. Carney's experience in international finance and economics makes him best positioned to handle this crisis and protect Canadian interests.
