- On Thursday, the Conservative Party of Canada gathered in Penticton for their caucus retreat, with Party Leader Pierre Poilievre centering the message on affordability for struggling Canadians.
- Poilievre claimed the party found $150 billion in savings by scouring the last budget, promising to eliminate taxes on home building, fuel, GST for Canadian vehicles, and capital gains tax.
- Addressing U.S. tariffs, Poilievre stated, "If the U.S. wants to raise costs on its businesses through tariffs, we must respond by lowering them on ours." He praised Okanagan's resilience amid wildfire hardships.
- On Wednesday, Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney's alleged approach to the European Union, stating, "None of this has been discussed here, with media, or with Parliament."
- The caucus retreat highlighted the Opposition's role in offering alternatives, with Poilievre reiterating plans to tighten bail, repeal gun-buybacks, reduce immigration, and reject EU membership adding taxes or open borders.
