The Key Issues for Voters"},"content":{"rendered":"<p> <br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-0\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Canada\u2019s Monday polls are broadly seen as the most important election in a generation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One of the world\u2019s most prosperous nations and America\u2019s closest ally and trading partner, Canada has found itself in recent months unexpectedly in the cross hairs of President Trump, targeted with tariffs and annexation threats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the country has also seen many of its coveted national accomplishments in regard to the economy and social issues slip, including higher costs of living, high unemployment, rising housing costs and a surge in homelessness and substance abuse. Many of these problems, not just in Canada but in other advanced economies, were exacerbated by the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many Canadians blame a decade of Liberal Party rule under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for the country\u2019s woes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Conservative Party leader, Pierre Poilievre, has spent the past three years at the helm of his party trying to hammer home the point that he is the change the nation needs to restore Canada to its rightful place as a strong and prosperous country that can hold its own against anyone \u2014 even the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Liberal supporters believe that the country would be in worse shape without the party\u2019s stewardship and, while admitting mistakes under Mr. Trudeau, they insist that the new leader, Mark Carney, is a uniquely competent captain to right the ship during what\u2019s turned out to be a major storm.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-7cbb2416\">Different Visions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The two top candidates in the election seem to agree on what Canada\u2019s major problems are: a crisis of affordability, Mr. Trump\u2019s actions and menacing words, the economy, and crime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But they offer two competing visions of how to tackle those issues, placing their individual personalities at the heart of their pitches to the Canadian public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carney, 60, has had a successful global career in the public and private sectors, as a central banker in Canada and Britain, as well as an executive at major companies. He has presented himself as a crisis expert, who brings to Canada the experience of a lifetime of tackling economic turmoil, negotiating deals and reading the global environment in times of upheaval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">His critics frame him as an out-of-touch member of the global elite, who simply offers a continuation of Mr. Trudeau\u2019s failed policies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Poilievre, 45, a career politician, supports many staple conservative policies, such as cutting back the role of the state, limiting taxes, supporting Canada\u2019s oil-and-gas industries and being tough on crime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But he also promotes ideas aligned with Mr. Trump\u2019s brand of conservatism: denouncing \u201cradical woke ideology,\u201d promoting steep cuts to Canada\u2019s foreign aid and defunding the national broadcaster. His ideology and his often abrasive tone, polls show, have driven some centrist Canadians who were flirting with voting for him to opt for Mr. Carney instead.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5d602c17\">Affordability<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Polls show that the top concern for voters in this election remains the question of affordability. Canadians have grown less and less able to afford a home, research by the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankofcanada.ca\/rates\/indicators\/capacity-and-inflation-pressures\/real-estate-market-definitions\/#:~:text=The%20housing%20affordability%20index%20is%20meant%20to,difficult%20it%20is%20to%20afford%20a%20home.\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bank of Canada<\/a> shows. Rents and home prices have climbed in urban centers, where the vast majority of Canadians live, pushing people out to suburbs and beyond, and forcing first-time buyers to postpone their plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">How to reverse this trend is a major challenge for Canada\u2019s next government. Both top candidates for prime minister have proposed new ways to build more homes, in a bid to drive prices down. Mr. Poilievre has focused on deregulating the permitting of new buildings, while Mr. Carney has talked about ways to finance new construction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-1246682\">Tariffs and Trump<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s decision to hit some of Canada\u2019s key exports to the United States with tariffs, as he continues to advance a reconfiguration of global trade, has left Canadians reeling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The country has also been stunned and angered by his repeated claims that he wants to make Canada the 51st state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The bellicose posture from a country considered Canada\u2019s closest friend has unleashed a desire to stand up to the United States and a rallying-round-the-flag that has translated into a defiant patriotism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The candidates in Monday\u2019s election have recognized the potency of this moment for Canadians, and the heavy impact of tariffs on the Canadian economy: About 80 percent of Canada\u2019s exports are sent to the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both Mr. Carney and Mr. Poilievre have proposed taking essentially similar approaches toward the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carney, who has been serving as prime minister since early March, has insisted on targeted retaliatory measures and highlighted that those can take Canada only so far before the two countries start negotiating a broader agreement on their economic relationship. Mr. Poilievre has largely agreed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both men have also pledged to bolster Canada\u2019s military, in an effort to lessen its dependence on the United States for the nation\u2019s security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But while Mr. Carney has made Mr. Trump\u2019s threats the centerpiece of his campaign, Mr. Poilievre, whose perceived ideological and stylistic similarities with the American leader have become a vulnerability, has been less vocal in taking on Mr. Trump directly.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-3cf1b78b\">Society<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A number of social policies have also become part of the campaign, including how to fight crime, tightening Canada\u2019s immigration system and tackling the addiction and mental health crises playing out on the streets of many Canadian cities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Poilievre has jumped on the question of crime to propose much tougher sentences for repeat offenders. And he has said he wants the authorities to intervene to treat people\u2019s addiction and mental health problems even if the treatment is involuntary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carney has acknowledged a tougher stance is needed but has stopped short of advocating for harsher interventions by the state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But both men agree that Canada\u2019s immigration system has granted access to too many foreign workers in recent years and should be more restrictive.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-16eec62\">Pipeline Dreams<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">How to utilize Canada\u2019s vast natural resources is another issue on the election agenda. Under Mr. Trudeau, the Liberal Party took a stricter stance on new exploration for energy and mineral deposits and the extraction of oil and gas, which were seen by many in the energy industry as overly focused on combating climate change and anti-energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Carney, despite his background as one of the world\u2019s most prominent green investment evangelists, has struck a relatively moderate tone on the topic, promising to unleash some of Canada\u2019s energy and mineral potential to boost its economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Poilievre has been aggressively pro-oil and gas, pledging to remove all obstacles to building more pipelines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canada\u2019s Monday polls are broadly seen as the most important election in a generation.
