Business Leaders Endorse Poilievre Ahead of Federal Election

More than 30 prominent Canadian business leaders have endorsed Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre ahead of the April 28 federal election, asserting that his economic policies are best suited to tackle Canada's slowing growth. The open letter, signed by executives from major companies, emphasizes the need to streamline permit processes, cut outdated regulations, reduce government spending, and lower taxes to bolster competitiveness. Poilievre's plan includes a 'two-for-one' regulation repeal approach aimed at fostering a more conducive environment for investment. His main opponent, Liberal Mark Carney, has positioned himself as the candidate best equipped to handle economic challenges, citing his experience leading central banks. The endorsement represents a significant backing for Poilievre’s “Canada First Economic Action Plan” amidst concerns over economic productivity and growth. The endorsement reflects a clear call for a shift in economic strategy as the election approaches.
