After clocking in a few days on the Western Canadian campaign trail, Liberal leader Mark Carney is set to begin another lap on the hustings in southwestern Ontario, beginning with a mid-morning policy reveal in Brampton, Ont., that, as per his comments in Calgary yesterday, may offer more details on how a newly elected Liberal government would respond to crime and justice issues. (10:30 a.m.)
Later this afternoon, he’ll “meet with supporters and volunteers” in Hamilton, Ont. (3 p.m.)
As for his Conservative rival, Pierre Poilievre, his daily on-camera campaign event — and back-and-forth with the press — will be in Milton, Ont., according to his office (10:30 a.m.), while tonight’s ‘Canada First’ rally will take place at an industrial park in Woolwich, Ont. (6 p.m.)
For his part, New Democrat leader Jagmeet Singh will start the day with an announcement in Saskatoon, Sask. (9:30 a.m. CST) before joining members of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations for a closed-door meeting later this morning. (11 a.m. CST)
Although Singh himself is not expected to make an appearance, his party will also hold a “virtual technical briefing for media on the cost of Mark Carney’s balanced budget,” during which unnamed “experts will present their work and answer questions from journalists on background,” although the advisory emphasizes that the event “is NOT for broadcast.” (10 a.m.)
Rounding out the campaign circuit, Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault will outline the party’s position on “key foreign affairs challenges facing Canada and the international community in this time of global uncertainty” during a mid-morning press conference at his campaign office in Outremont, Que. (10:30 a.m.)
Meanwhile, the party’s other co-leader, Elizabeth May, wraps up her two-day “Whistle Stop Tour” in Moncton, N.B., where her train is expected to pull into the station this afternoon, and is expected to be greeted by “supporters” who will “welcome her to the Maritimes,” according to the advisory. (1:30 p.m. AT)
Later this afternoon, she’ll head to Fredericton for a quick round of “canvassing and sign-waving” (4:30 p.m. AT) before joining local Green hopeful Pam Allen-LeBlanc and provincial Green leader David Coon for a “rally and fundraising event” to mark the “official” launch of Allen-LeBlanc’s campaign. (7 p.m. AT)
