Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is at the forefront of a campaign centered on economic reform, tax cuts, and restoring "freedom" in government policy. With a strong focus on affordability, immigration enforcement, and a leaner federal government, Poilievre has gained momentum among voters frustrated with inflation and government overreach. His populist appeal and aggressive opposition to elite institutions are shaping the Conservative narrative.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh continues to champion the interests of working-class Canadians, advocating for universal pharmacare, affordable housing, and higher corporate taxes to fund public services.
