Intra-Party Elections Expose Lack of Transparency in Pakistan Politics

The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) has released a platform promising $90 billion in new spending, claiming it will be funded by economic growth from future policies. Prime Minister Mark Carney, leader of the Liberal Party, criticized the platform as unrealistic, calling it a 'nightmare' reliant on 'magical economic growth' and accusing the CPC of lacking a credible fiscal plan. Carney also emphasized the urgency of addressing the current purchasing-power crisis and questioned the CPC’s readiness to negotiate with Donald Trump amid threats of tariffs and annexation. He contrasted the CPC's delayed tax cuts and 'phantom numbers' with the Liberal platform's immediate middle-class tax relief and commitment to serious governance. Carney framed the election as a choice between a prepared, experienced team and opponents who hastily assembled their platform. The debate highlights significant divisions over economic management and international strategy in the upcoming election.
