Recent signs of cooperation between Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and Prime Minister Mark Carney suggest both parties are willing to accelerate progress on trade and economic issues. However, political observers say a stronger foundation of trust may be required to move forward on other stalled elements of the government’s legislative agenda.

@GMilner recently told Jesse Cnockaert of @TheHillTimes that Conservatives accusing the Liberals of being difficult, and Liberals calling Conservatives obstructionist, “is a reflection of the minority Parliament that we sit in.”

"[The Liberals] still need the support of at least a couple members from across the aisle to move legislation through, and they need the support of another party from the committee perspective of moving things through committee. I believe that both parties are genuine in their frustration with each other—maybe a little bit earlier in the session than is traditional—but both parties are trying to deliver for their constituencies,” he notes.

Certains diront qu'il y a un « avant » et un « après » Davos. Les libéraux de Mark Carney ont le vent en poupe et bénéficient actuellement du soutien d'une majorité de Canadiens, tandis que les critiques de la Maison-Blanche reprennent de plus belle.

Depuis le discours du chef libéral, dans lequel il a annoncé une rupture avec l'ordre mondial fondé sur des règles, illustrant notamment que « si vous n'êtes pas à table, vous êtes au menu », le premier ministre et le Parti libéral obtiennent de très bons résultats dans les sondages.

Comme @GMilner l'a confié à @LP_LaPresse, « Il est vain d'essayer de prédire l'avenir, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit de sondages d'opinion », et il souligne à quel point la situation a changé depuis un an.

Some would say there is a “before” and “after” Davos. Mark Carney's Liberals are riding high and are currently receiving the support of a majority of Canadians, while criticism from the White House is picking up again.

Since the Liberal leader’s speech, in which he announced a break with the rules-based world order, illustrating in particular that "if you are not at the table, you are on the menu", the Prime Minister and the Liberal Party have been doing very well in the polls.

As @GMilner shared with @LP_LaPresse, "It's a lost cause to try to predict the future, especially when it comes to opinion polls,” and points to how much that has changed from a year ago.

Was a pleasure to once again join @CTVNews today to discuss #elxn45.

With less than three weeks left in the campaign it is clear that Canadians are fully tuned in to the major parties and their visions for Canada.

.@gmilner, Lead Public Affairs Counsellor, returned to CTV News with Todd van der Heyden to break down what’s at stake as we reach the halfway point of #elxn45. With fresh polling data and rising concerns about global instability, Canada’s political landscape is becoming more complex — and more consequential — than ever.
