Some Liberal members of Parliament heading into a national caucus retreat this week say they're facing blowback from voters at the doorsteps — and they hope the prime minister and his inner circle listen to their concerns before it's too late.
Some said they also want a plan to respond to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party held its policy convention in Quebec City over the weekend.
"There is a struggle and attention generally as to how to deal with a person like that, that Canadian politics, in particular, hasn't seen much of." "He would have you believe that emissions aren't going down when in fact they are, and would have you believe that a big part of the increase in cost of living is the price on pollution, which it isn't."to rebrand Poilievre"The strategy behind how aggressively to go after is one that isn't made in rooms to which I'm invited," Casey said.
Regional Liberal caucuses have asked David Coletto, chair and CEO of Abacus Data, to give independent presentations about how their party is polling. An election call isn't expected soon and could be as far off as two years. Casey said he thinks that the more the spotlight shines on Trudeau's adversary, the less excited the electorate will be about Poilievre.
The Conservative pitch to "axe the tax," can be easily understood in seconds, while the Liberals' carbon tax rebate can take several minutes to explain, one MP said. "That literally makes my heart fall," said Dzerowicz, who represents the riding of Davenport. She's put her name forward to address the caucus on housing policy.
