Poilievre Pushes Back as Conservatives Unveil Costed Election Platform
As Canada’s 2025 federal election approaches its final stretch, the political battleground is heating up. One of the biggest moments of this week is the upcoming release of the Conservative Party’s fully costed platform. Pierre Poilievre, the party's leader, has been under increasing pressure from the Liberals and the NDP to show his math—especially after vowing to implement a dollar-for-dollar savings law for every new dollar spent.
But Poilievre isn’t buying that. In a fiery response during a Toronto campaign stop, he called out the Liberals’ numbers as “Liberal math,” pointing to their own history of missed deficit targets and ballooning spending. He insists that his plan doesn’t touch the services Canadians depend on. Instead, he says the savings will come from eliminating what he calls “wasteful spending”—including bureaucracy, foreign aid, corporate handouts, and over $10 billion in consultant fees, the safe supply program, and the gun buy-back initiative.

He also claims the Conservatives’ plan will stimulate the economy by unlocking $70 billion in additional revenue through resource sector growth. On top of that, he proposes bold tax reforms—such as reducing the lowest income tax bracket to 12.75% and removing the GST from new home purchases, policies that are bound to appeal to cost-conscious Canadians.
What’s clear is that the stakes are high, and both sides are playing hardball. The Liberals have already released their own costed platform, one that acknowledges increased deficits but promises a balanced operating budget by 2028-29. They’re betting that voters will be more forgiving of spending if it protects key social programs.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives are doubling down on fiscal responsibility and economic growth, positioning themselves as the party of change. With Poilievre set to unveil the platform imminently, all eyes are on what exactly he plans to cut—or not cut—and how he’ll convince Canadians his numbers add up.
At this stage of the campaign, clarity and credibility are everything. And in the coming days, the Conservatives’ costed platform might just be the document that either solidifies their push for leadership—or hands the Liberals the final edge.
