“The Trumpy hectoring of people, the slogans, the big rallies — like it all just seems like so Trump…people are not loving Trump right now in Canada,” said Kory Teneycke…
“(Poilievre’s) style & his approach to politics certainly channel a lot of Trump. It’s like a cheap karaoke version of Trump.”

Conservative Poilievre seemed poised to be Canada's next leader. Then Trump declared economic war
Until a few months ago, Pierre Poilievre was seen as a shoo-in to become Canada’s next prime minister and shepherd his Conservative Party back into power for the first time in a decade.

I’m guessing the delay for the CPC is trying to get the blue line under the red line. Math has always been hard for them.
Here are Debt/GDP ratios for three scenarios:
1--PBO baseline.
2--LPC platform (costed by themselves)
3--CPC platform (costed by LPC)
I'll happily update with CPC platform numbers if CPC releases them. But until then it doesn't seem fair that they escape scrutiny. So, I'll go with what I have.
