U.S. tariff decisions have shaken up Canada’s upcoming election agenda.
Voters are asking tough trade questions, and with election day now less than two weeks away, the big question for voters is which political party can best represent Canada and regain a reliable free trade agreement with the U.S.
Recent polls show that the Conservative Party is narrowing the gap, but a former New Democrat Party leader says even if the Conservatives retain most of the western seats, it will not be enough for an election win.
According to Tom Mulcair, “In provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Conservatives, they’ll be winning seats by 15-20,000 votes, but that is still just one seat. The Liberal vote, for example, in the greater Toronto area, has more seats than Alberta and Saskatchewan together. So, the Liberals are still looking at a massive haul in Ontario because they see Trump as the overarching threat, and in Atlantic Canada, and in the province of Quebec.”
