Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in Windsor Friday

The last of the big three federal party leaders will meet with supporters in Windsor on Friday night.

Pierre Poilievre will hold a Canada First rally at 2820 Dodge Drive.

The doors open at 6 p.m., and the rally starts at 6:30 p.m.

Before arriving in Windsor, Poilievre held a news conference in St. Catharines where he announced his Canada First Economic Action Plan to address the affordability crisis.

The plan includes a pledge to cut income taxes by 15 per cent, saving the average taxpayer $900 a year and boosting national economic activity by half-a-trillion dollars a year.

Liberal Leader Mark Carney has suspended his campaign for the day and will convene a cabinet meeting on Canada-U.S. relations in Ottawa.

Carney brought his campaign to Windsor on March 26, where he announced his plan to protect workers during the trade war with the U.S.

Also in Ottawa on Friday, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh will speak at the Broadbent Institute's 2025 Progress Summit.

Singh was last in Windsor on March 27. He announced a pledge that his party if elected, would bar companies from removing equipment paid for by government loans and grants from manufacturing plants.

The Green Party co-leaders, Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault, are campaigning in Montreal on Friday.
