Whoever defeats that Voting on 9. Martha becomes in Canadian next Prime Minister and leading Liberals in the upcoming general elections, which must be held on or before 20. October this year.

The great focus of the discussion is that Canada should respond to the US President Donald Trump, who threatened steep tariffs in the Northern neighbor in America and suggested that Canada becomes “51. State”.

Here are five large candidates from two liberal debates about leadership.

Trump Factor

As Canada should answer what many called “Existential threat” from the US President Donald Trump did not surprise dominated on the agenda on both discussions.

Trump said he planned to impose a 25% tariff in all Canadian exports, with the exception of energy that would be charged at a lower 10% – a move that they will execute for Americans.

He also suggested several times to provide now to attach to Canada, which is filled with alarm and anger from large bites of the Canadian population.

Freeland, a former top minister who served during the Trump’s first term, positioned as an experienced negotiator who fought – and won – against the American president and his previous tariffs and his previous tariffs.

But Carney warned that Trump was no Trump of the past today. “He is more isolationist. He is more aggressive,” Carney said. “In the past, our markets wanted. Now he wants our country.”

Gould, the youngest candidate, suggested that Canada should “put everything on the table” to protect their sovereignty, and that the Federal Government should help companies diversify their portfolios in order to depend on the US less.

How Canada Can Fix Your Economics

Trump threats are performed more alarming Canada by the current economic situation.

GDP countries decreased last year, along with the value of the Canadian dollar, and Canadians expressed frustrations over the stubborn high costs of life.

Carney – Store economist – He focused many of his messages on this issue. He promised a plan to balance the Canada operating budget in three years and suggested that Canada re-examines the way he spends his money.

But he also noticed his support for key liberal programs, such as affordable caring for children and dental care.

As former Finance Minister Freeland defended his practice, saying that the country’s finances are still “very strong”. She added that the Canada should take advantage of the patriotism rush in the face of Trump threats, using that momentum to support the Canadian industries and promote job growth.

Baylis drew his expertise as a businessman who says Canada should work on building her productivity.

Gould, on the other hand, said that the Liberal Party should be “realistic with Canadians” and that the balance of the budget in three years was not possible without significant cuts, which did not support. She said that Canada should instead focus on the “modernization of his social security network” to help those who fight.

“We are facing extreme threats from the US, so we must be able to invest in our people and in our company to protect them,” Gould.

Wrong conservative leader Pierre Poilievre

The four candidates were discussed, but they often presented the United Front against their joint opponent, the conservative leaders of the Pierre Poilievre party, whose party is a favorite on the survey as likely to form in Canada next government.

Liberal leadership hopes a few jabs in Poilieevre during the hearing. Gould called him “Our little version of Trump here” while Freeland said he was looking at him to “imitate” the trump card.

Carney criticized Poilie’s as “irresponsible” and added that Canada can “do not afford” to have him as a prime minister.

Poilievre, who enjoyed great leadership in surveys in front of the unpopular Trudeau, had to turn his field to Canada, from the resignation of Trudea.

His message has changed from criticizing a seated prime minister to keep “broken” Canada to put “Canada first” in the US face. He also transferred the focus on the attack on Carney, which is favored to conquer the liberal leadership race.

Poilievre is still tanned in the national situation, but some surveys suggest that leading between him and liberals reduce from Trudeau’s exit.

Support Ukraine and NATO

Responding to the transfer of American politics in the current War of Russia-Ukraine, all four candidates confirmed their commitment to continuing to support Canada in Ukraine.

They all also supported them the need for Canada to hit his goal of 2% of military consumption as determined in his obligations in the NATO alliance, although they did not agree on the timeline and how to get there.

Freeland said that Canada should hit the goal until 2027. years, and that should be made to invest in the “next generation of warfare”. Baylis and Carney said their plan would be for Canada to up to 2030. Reached that target.

Both Freeland and Carney said Canada should have invested that money in Canadian military endeavors instead of now.

Freeland noted that Canada should reduce the reliance on the United States, and should seek working with the EU and other NATO security partners.

Rethinking consumer carbon tax

Carbon tax for consumers and enterprises was the cornerstone of the Policy of the Government of Trudea on Climate Change.

But that tax proved unpopular with Canadians, forcing Carney and Freeland to promise to strengthen politics.

Carney, a former UN special envoy on climate shops and finances, was a long time for carbon tax. In the hearings, however, he admitted that the consumer tax became divisions and said that he would instead focus on taxing major pollutants and a growing clean energy project in Canada.

Freeland, who resigned from the Government of Trudea due to disagreement with the Prime Minister on spending, said history would judge his climate action a favorable despite the unpopularity of his policy. But she also swore to open carbon tax.

“Democracy is about listening to people, and Canadians were very clear with us that they did not think that the policy worked for them,” she said.

Gould and Baylis, on the other hand, said he would retain a version of the carbon consumer tax, saying that he struggles against climate change came with the price.
