The trade war is grabbing all the headlines, but Canadian voters have other worries on their minds
The 2025 Canadian federal election, triggered by a snap election call, will focus on economic issues amid trade threats and challenges from the U.S. under President Trump. Key issues include innovation, economic competitiveness, affordability (including housing and tax cuts), the size of the federal government, and deregulation/growth-focused policies. Party leaders Mark Carney (Liberal) and Pierre Poilievre (Conservative), along with Jagmeet Singh, will be competing.
