Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a speech in Toronto on October 30, 2025, criticizing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s upcoming budget, which he claims will impose further sacrifices on young Canadians. Poilievre argued that the current generation has faced unprecedented challenges, echoing sentiments of hardship reminiscent of the Second World War. He accused the Liberal government of overspending and mismanaging immigration, demanding a more affordable budget with tax cuts. As the Liberals face potential opposition to their budget, Poilievre’s remarks align with a campaign-style approach ahead of his own leadership review in January.
