Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre holds rally in Saskatoon

Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre made his first appearance in Saskatchewan during this election period on Thursday evening. 

The Tory leader held a rally in a warehouse in Saskatoon.

The visit comes after Poilievre released his party's platform this week. The document outlines a promise to shrink Canada's deficit by 70 per cent by relying on cuts and economic growth that his economic plan will generate. 

It's already been criticized by Liberal Leader Mark Carney and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet as including "a lot of magic numbers" and "hocus pocus," respectively.

Despite the criticism, some attendees at the Saskatoon rally expressed firm support for Poilievre's message.

"We've been in trouble with the Liberals for quite a long time in terms of housing, cost, tax," said Saskatoon resident Paulin Sefu. "So when Poilievre says he's going to trim out that taxes and all that, it's a good initiative."

Others, like Theodore Garcia who traveled from Regina, echoed that sentiment. 

"I feel like this [current] government has really let me fall through the cracks," he said. 

Poilievre started the day in Halifax while Carney was in Port Moody, B.C., Blanchet was in Montreal and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was in Winnipeg. 

CBC News kept track of events on the campaign trail live, throughout the day. 

Poilievre is scheduled to hold a news conference in Saskatoon on Friday morning.

Poilievre is the last of the major party leaders to make a stop in Saskatchewan.

Carney and Singh both held events in Saskatoon earlier this month as they attempted to court voters. 

All 14 ridings in Saskatchewan have been represented by Conservative MPs since 2019.

There is a chance that could change this election. 

As of Wednesday morning, the Liberals still appear to have the best chance of winning this federal election, according to CBC's Poll Tracker. 

Polls carried out after the election debates show the Conservatives narrowing the gap, but not doing enough in the important battlegrounds of Ontario and British Columbia. 

There are just four days left in the campaign. Voters will head to the polls on Monday.
