Summary
Mark Carney, the new Liberal leader, is adapting to political campaigning by engaging in staged photo opportunities, such as playing road hockey with children in Truro, N.S., and painting Easter eggs in Newcastle, Ont. While his approach differs from that of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, he demonstrates a willingness to connect with voters, although some speculate this may not last. The Liberal campaign seems buoyed by internal polling, as Carney defends his party’s $225 billion spending plan against Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s forthcoming platform.
