Show Notes

In this episode of InFocus with David Coletto, David dives into new Abacus Data polling that shows a high level of engagement among Canadian voters and examines why this heightened attention could shape the outcome of the upcoming leaders’ debates. With the Liberals and Conservatives tied at 39% support, the stakes for these debates—scheduled for April 16 (French) and April 17 (English)—couldn’t be higher. David unpacks how Mark Carney’s positive personal brand, Pierre Poilievre’s combative style, and each leader’s French-language skill might influence their debate performances. He also explores the role that Donald Trump’s ongoing presidency plays in raising concerns about leadership qualities, global challenges, and economic stability. Tune in for data-driven insights and a behind-the-numbers look at whether this unusually engaged electorate could shift Canada’s political landscape in the final stretch of the campaign.
