Tone.

Tone is hugely important in election campaigns. And the winner is usually the party whose leader -- whose leader's tone -- best reflects the public mood. The zeitgeist, if you will. Here, the elephant in the room is Donald Trump, and the central theme is who is the best Captain Canada to defend this country against his belligerence. Are Canadians looking for the calm, academic tone of Mark Carney, or are they looking for the scrappy, "I'm gonna fight for you" tone of Pierre Poilievre? This is a central question. This is something to watch. #Cdnpoli #CanadaElection2025 #CanadianPolitics
