Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is starting his campaign early in order to secure support from voters, particularly those within the evangelical Christian community. Poilievre has been making visits to churches in Liberal ridings, hoping to sway voters to his side before the next federal election, which may not be until October 2025.
Despite evangelicals playing a less active role in Canadian politics compared to the United States, Poilievre and the Conservatives are making efforts to appeal to this demographic. David Akin explains that while the influence of evangelicals may not be as strong in Canada, their votes are still valuable and can make a difference in elections.
By targeting evangelical voters, Poilievre is hoping to broaden his support base and increase his chances of winning in the next federal election. With the Tories actively courting their votes, it will be interesting to see how this strategy plays out in the coming years.
