Federal Election 2025

Canada is now in the midst of a snap federal election, as called by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Sunday, March 23.

Parties have been slowly announcing candidates for most of 2025, including in the Foothills riding, which saw three new names put forward, bringing the total to five.

"It's not a last straw if we see these policies continue for the next four years, but it's getting down the last few straws for people who are just really, really fed up."

Former Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall feels another Liberal win in the current Canadian federal election could lead to a rise in western alienation.

"If the majority in the House of Commons is not a party that believes in the things that we do out west to make a living and wants to facilitate those things," Wall said. "Then you're going to have people increasingly alienated."

The federal election called yesterday means we'll be voting in the newly-formed federal riding Airdrie-Cochrane.

Boundary changes approved in 2023 are now in effect. While Cochrane and Airdrie will remain in the same riding, Ghost Lake, Waiparous, Stoney Nakoda Nation, Banff and Canmore are among the communities included in the redrawn Yellohead constituency.

Federal party leaders are spending their first full day on the campaign trail talking about taxes, transfers and the trades.

Poilievre talks tax cuts

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is promising a middle-class tax cut, following a Liberal pledge that involves a smaller reduction to the same tax rate.

Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap election for Monday, April 28, and campaigning by all major political parties has begun — here’s what you need to know to exercise your right to vote for who represents you on the federal stage from the riding of Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan. 

Conservative MP Fraser Tolmie has represented Moose Jaw since 2021. 

With the writ being dropped on the weekend and a federal election being called, workers are now preparing locations around the country for voting day. That's set to take place on April 28th, with a number of other early voting locations also being worked on.

There are a few ways people can vote, says Regional Media Advisor for Elections Canada Marie-Frances Kenny.

The current MP for the Foothills riding, Conservative incumbent John Barlow, is once again looking to secure the Foothills riding seat in parliament.

On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a date for the spring election of Monday, April 28.

Barlow's team was well-prepared with lawn signs and whatnot, ready to go and were already handing them out.

Barlow represents the CPC, the Conservative Party of Canada, and has been an MP since a by-election in 2014.

He's also the Shadow Minister for Agriculture, Agri-Food, and Food Security.

Just six short months after the 2024 Provincial General Election, Saskatchewanians will be returning to the polls once again to cast their ballot, this time on a federal level. 

Prime Minister Mark Carney asked the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call for a snap election yesterday, signaling the start of a five-week campaign on April 28, 2025 - six months ahead of the fixed date.

The federal riding of Moose Jaw - Lake Centre - Lanigan is currently held by the Conservative Party's Fraser Tolmie, a seat he has held since September of 2021.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney will try to inject some Canadian symbolism and pride to his election campaign today with a stop in Gander, Nfld.

The town in northeastern Newfoundland famously fed and housed thousands of passengers — most of them Americans — when flights were grounded after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Carney's chief opponents, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, will campaign in the seat-rich Greater Toronto Area.

Over the weekend, Prime Minister Mark Carney called a snap federal election which will take place Monday, April 28th. A call for an election shortly after Carney’s Liberal Party of Canada leadership victory was expected, given that the new Prime Minister does not have a seat in the House of Commons. The five-week campaign will be one of the shortest in Cnadian history.
