The platforms released by the two major federal parties are illustrative of the leaders that lead them and their approaches to politics and public policy.
On Saturday, the Liberal Party released a dense 67-page platform with virtually no glossy photos or gimmicky slogans.
Instead, the Carney Liberal platform features a "Trump proof" vision for Canada that balances necessary social spending with catalyzing private sector investments to make Canada the fastest growing country in the G7.
This morning, the Conservative Party released a marketing document masquerading as an election platform: a 30-page document littered with glossy photos of their leader, his wife and staged photos with an assortment of Conservative partisans.
The Conservative Plan isn't "Trump proof", mentions the word "Liberal" seven times for every mention of Trump and is built around shaky math and rosy economic predictions that are unlikely to materialize.
The irony?
Poilievre's Conservatives have been demanding an election for nearly three years, yet their platform was released dead last of the three federal parties and gives you the sense it was written on the back of a napkin at the 11th hour. The Conservative Party thought an election victory was "in the bag", so why bother with the mere details of a policy platform?
Pierre Poilievre isn't ready to govern Canada at this most consequential moment. His hastily put-together platform illustrates this point in spades.
