Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre blamed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s policies for youth struggles and pledged economic reforms ahead of a potential early election.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre addressed young Canadians in Toronto, criticizing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s economic policies and warning that Liberal leadership has undermined youth prospects. Speaking at a "Jobs. Homes. Hope." event, Poilievre blamed current policies for rising unemployment, unaffordable housing, and stagnant wages, pledging to reverse course through tax cuts, repealing anti-development laws, eliminating the industrial carbon tax, and capping government spending. He challenged Carney’s claim of economic resilience, citing failed U.S. tariff negotiations and urging immediate action to boost take-home pay and job creation. The event, attended by Conservative MPs and youth supporters, signaled preparations for a potential early election ahead of the November 4 federal budget.
