OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre addressed young Canadians at an event in Toronto tonight, arguing the Liberals are sacrificing their future.
Speaking at a podium marked “Work. Home. Hope”, Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney and his government, stressing that the prime minister has yet to reach an agreement with US President Donald Trump to end the tariffs.
The Opposition Leader also condemned Carney's recent speech at the University of Ottawa, where he said the fall budget would spur “unprecedented” levels of private sector investment but warned there would be sacrifices ahead.
Poilievre says young people have given more than previous generations because of “Liberal policies” and promises Conservatives will help tackle issues such as unemployment and housing costs.
Ahead of next week's federal budget, the Conservatives sent fundraising emails to supporters saying there could be a snap election and warning the party “must be prepared”.
Several Conservative MPs attended the event, with many young people standing behind Poilievre holding signs that read: “Don't sacrifice your future.”
