flag Poilievre demands tax cuts and deficit control, but projections show a $70B shortfall ahead of a crucial budget vote.

flag Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pressuring Prime Minister Mark Carney to curb the federal deficit below $42 billion and reduce taxes on income, capital gains, carbon, and homebuilding. flag He also calls for ending the federal fuel standard, labeling it an "inflation tax," and criticizes the government for maintaining Justin Trudeau's economic policies, arguing large deficits aren't investments. flag These demands come as fiscal projections suggest the deficit could near $70 billion. flag With the November 4 budget acting as a confidence vote, the minority Liberal government, requiring support from other parties to avoid an election, faces demands from the Bloc Québécois for $814 million in payments to Quebecers, increased health transfers, and expanded social programs. flag The NDP is also pushing for more health care, housing, and unionized job creation. flag The Liberals have previewed new initiatives, including an anti-fraud strategy, expanded border and RCMP staffing, a school food program, and a Canada Strong Pass.
