Federal Election 2025 Final Campaign Messages from Leaders
As Canadians prepare to cast their ballots in the looming federal election, party leaders are crisscrossing the country with renewed urgency, each delivering their final pitches in what has become one of the most closely contested races in recent memory.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Final Push
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spent Thursday in Ontario’s vote-rich 905 region, emphasizing his Liberal government’s track record on climate action and post-pandemic economic recovery. “The choice couldn’t be clearer,” Trudeau told supporters at a rally in Mississauga. “We can continue building a cleaner, more prosperous Canada for everyone, or we can return to Conservative policies that would set us back decades on climate change and social programs.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s Economic Focus
Meanwhile, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre focused his campaign’s final push on economic messaging, holding events in suburban Vancouver where housing affordability remains a critical concern. “Canadians are worse off today than they were eight years ago,” Poilievre declared to an enthusiastic crowd. “Housing costs have doubled, groceries are unaffordable, and the middle class is shrinking. On Monday, Canadians can vote for real change.”
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s Progressive Message
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, campaigning in Montreal, continued to position his party as the only true progressive option. “The Liberals have had eight years to deliver on pharmacare, dental care, and affordable housing,” Singh said. “They’ve broken promise after promise. We’re the only party that will actually fight for working Canadians instead of wealthy corporations.”
Bloc Québécois and Quebec’s Influence
The CO24 Politics polling tracker shows the Liberals and Conservatives locked in a statistical tie nationally, with regional variations that could determine the final outcome. Quebec remains particularly volatile, with the Bloc Québécois maintaining strong support under leader Yves-François Blanchet, who has been focusing on environmental protection and Quebec sovereignty issues in his final appearances.
Green Party’s Climate-Driven Appeal
Green Party leader Annamie Paul has emphasized climate emergency response in her messaging, telling supporters in Victoria, “This election comes at a pivotal moment for our planet. The latest IPCC report gives us less than a decade to make dramatic changes, and only the Green Party has a plan that meets the scale of this crisis.”
Voter Turnout and Key Battlegrounds
Electoral analysts suggest that turnout could be decisive in several key battleground ridings. “We’re seeing particularly close races in about 47 ridings across the country,” noted Dr. Eleanor Matthews, professor of political science at the University of Toronto. “Many of these could be decided by margins of just a few hundred votes, making this final weekend of campaigning absolutely crucial.”
Advanced polling numbers released by Elections Canada show a 12% increase in early voting compared to the 2021 election, suggesting heightened voter engagement. The agency has implemented enhanced health protocols at polling stations to address lingering COVID-19 concerns.
What’s at Stake
As the campaigns enter their final hours, the CO24 News team will be providing live coverage from key ridings across the country. Economic policies, particularly regarding inflation and housing affordability, have dominated much of the campaign discourse according to CO24 Business analysis.
With just days remaining before Canadians decide who will lead the country through the post-pandemic recovery and looming climate challenges, the question remains: will voters opt for continuity or change in what has become one of the most consequential elections in a generation?
