In Trois-Rivières, Quebec, concerns have emerged regarding the Liberal government’s new platform, which proposes $129 billion in tax cuts and spending, leading to projected deficits of $225 billion over four years and abandoning previous fiscal anchors. The Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, released its own costing document detailing $109 billion in new measures, including tax cuts that fall short of the Liberals’ promises, while also making dubious revenue assumptions related to oil and gas activities. Analysts warn that both parties’ plans may contribute to an unsustainable fiscal trajectory, raising questions about their long-term viability.
