RECAP | Canada election: Carney holds event in Victoria as campaign enters home stretch | CBC

No mention of the NDP from Carney — until now

A journalist noted the fact that Carney has barely acknowledged the NDP in his campaign so far, but that a lot of B.C. voters support policies Singh has defended in Parliament.

Carney then listed what he believes could be at risk of being cut if Poilievre is elected, including $10-a-day child care, dental care, pharmacare, environmental strategies and the CBC.

“To use an NDP term if I may — there, I said ‘NDP’ for the first time in the campaign — progressive policies, I think of them more as policies and institutions that are part of this country because we care about each other,” Carney said.

“All of those, the Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, does not support.”

Still, before listing all of those, Carney mentioned a name that he does bring up a lot: “The biggest thing in this election is who is going to stand up to Donald Trump.”
