Opinion | BY MICHAEL HARRIS | October 6, 2025
Despite Canadians’ grave, enduring doubts about Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, Prime Minister Mark Carney's upcoming budget could work to his advantage.

Prime Minister Mark Carney heads into Question Period on Sept. 24, 2025. It's worth remembering that Carney is a PM who is lopsidedly putting his chips down on his ties to and skill with foreign leaders, particularly Europeans. It's clearly something that he himself sees as one of his strong suits, writes Matt Gurney. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
