One quarter of growth does not erase years of weak performance | Aug 30, 2026
Canada has incredible entrepreneurs, workers, and businesses, but too many are being held back by high costs, red tape, and uncertainty. We need long-term growth, stronger investment, and a plan that helps Canadian companies build and stay here at home. Conservatives are focused on getting Canada building again, approving projects faster, attracting investment, and creating an economy where hard work leads to a stronger paycheque. Do you think one good quarter is enough, or does Canada need a long-term plan to reverse years of weak growth?
Growth shows we are falling behind | Aug 28, 2026
Canada has incredible potential, but GDP per capita growth shows we are falling behind the United States. That matters because economic growth affects wages, jobs, investment, affordability, and our standard of living. Conservatives believe Canada needs to get back to building, investing, approving projects faster, and creating the conditions for workers and businesses to succeed. Do you think Canada is moving in the right direction, or do we need to reverse this trend?
