New Democrats and Conservatives have both launched television ads that attempt to define Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre to union voters, a group politicians see as having increased power in the next federal election.
Federal Conservatives and New Democrats agree on very little, but one point of consensus has emerged in recent months — labour issues will play a key role in the next federal election.
After showing images of late night workers such as nurses, servers and truckers, the Conservative party ad closes with a tag line: "after the night, no matter how long or dark, comes morning" as Poilievre appears on screen, smiling in a field at dawn. They also launched an accompanying radio ad attacking Singh for keeping his supply-and-confidence agreement with the minority government.
Federal parties have ramped up their efforts to court union votes as the labour movement experiences a renaissance, said George Soule, former NDP communications director, who is now a principal at the strategic communications firm Syntax. "You never once hear him talking about corporate greed, never once hear him taking on the big bosses," said NDP labour critic Matthew Green.
"The candidates that are up there, I'm not sure what their position is," she said regarding parties' platforms. That includes George Smith of Toronto, who said he plans to vote Conservative for the first time in the next federal election. Conservatives have ramped up their attacks on New Democrats and their leader Singh in recent weeks, and the NDP has reciprocated. Both parties sense change is coming.
Conservative candidate Don Stewart winning the closely-watched Toronto-St. Paul's federal byelection, and delivering a stunning upset to Justin Trudeau's candidate Leslie Church in the long-time Liberal riding, has sent political shockwaves through both parties.
