A Conservative election win would usher in a sea change to Canada’s economic and fiscal agenda

Current polling suggests Canadians are poised to vote in a Conservative majority government that would usher in a sea change to the nation’s economic and fiscal agenda.

What you will learn:

  • Even without a detailed Conservative platform, key policy shifts will likely include shrinking the size of government and restoring fiscal balance by reducing “unnecessary” spending while cutting taxes to boost the economy. Top priorities would also include eliminating the federal carbon levy and reducing immigration.
  • Odds of an early federal election in Canada have escalated, but we don’t anticipate a snap election this fall. Rather, it’s most likely in the spring, after the next federal budget.
