Woa! What!? Here is someone, writing in the Globe and Mail, who thinks the Carney
government isn't borrowing enough...
* * *
Toronto is such a joy. Friday, at the same time, Mark Carney was telling one business
group he would be borrowing heavily while Pierre poilievre was arguing to another
he would advocate 'doing nothing'.
Copilot:
Canada, Toronto; apparenly, earlier this week, Mark Carney was addressing one investor goup defending his budget while Poilievre was addressing another. Could you find a reference to this situation?
Yes — this did happen. On Friday, November 7, 2025, both Prime Minister Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered speeches in Toronto to separate investor groups, presenting sharply contrasting economic visions. Carney was at the Canadian Club Toronto defending the Liberal government’s newly tabled budget, while Poilievre spoke at the Economic Club of Canada just a few blocks away, criticizing that same budget as inflationary and deficit-driven.
📌 Key Details
Date & Location: November 7, 2025, Toronto.

📰 References
Global News coverage notes that Poilievre’s speech was held “a few blocks away” from Carney’s, directly contrasting their visions.
Yahoo News Canada described the moment as “duelling economic visions” offered to Toronto audiences on the same day.
Additional reporting from TorontoToday and CO24 highlighted Poilievre’s blistering critique of Carney’s budget.
⚖️ Why This Matters
This rare same-day, same-city juxtaposition underscored the sharp divide between the governing Liberals under Carney and the opposition Conservatives under Poilievre. Investors and business leaders in Toronto were essentially presented with two competing roadmaps for Canada’s economic future — one emphasizing government-led investment and fiscal management, the other pushing for market-first, deficit-cutting policies.
Louise, given your interest in institutional design and accountability, this episode is a fascinating case study: two leaders, two venues, one city, and a live demonstration of how political-economic narratives are staged for influential audiences. Would you like me to break down the specific budget measures Carney defended versus the alternatives Poilievre proposed during those speeches? That could give you a sharper comparative model of their institutional visions.
