Election 2025: Campaign Roundup - Day 10

Welcome to Day 10 of Canada Minute’s 2025 Campaign Roundup!

With the 2025 Canadian federal election now finally underway, we'll be bringing you daily updates on all the policy proclamations, platform promises, and political point-scoring from the campaign trail.

Campaign Roundup - Day 10:

• Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pledged to implement five key requests from the energy sector if elected, including streamlined regulations, setting project approval deadlines, ending the emissions cap and carbon pricing, and expanding Indigenous loan guarantees.
  
  
• Poilievre promised to put fish harvesters "back in charge of the fishery" and criticized Liberal policies on marine protected areas during a campaign stop in Newfoundland and Labrador. He promised to reverse changes to protected zones, double funding for small craft harbours, and reclaim fishery quotas from foreign interests.
  
  
• The Green Party announced a plan to establish a 120,000-strong National Civil Defence Corps to enhance emergency preparedness, protect critical infrastructure, and strengthen Canada’s sovereignty. The initiative includes universal civil defence training, an advanced skills track, expanded reserve forces, and a national youth service program, with a focus on climate resilience and security threats.
  
  
• NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh pledged to ban cash-for-care clinics and prevent American corporations from buying Canadian health-care facilities, vowing to protect the public system from privatization. Singh also took credit for national dental care and early pharmacare developments.
  
  
• Liberal Leader Mark Carney celebrated the end of the consumer carbon tax, which took effect today, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused him of planning to bring it back after the election. Carney, who previously supported carbon pricing, now says it has become too divisive and has pledged to maintain and strengthen the industrial carbon tax instead. Poilievre, who built his campaign around scrapping the tax entirely, has vowed to eliminate the industrial carbon price as well.
