Market Turmoil: S&P 500 Enters Correction Amid Escalating Trade War

                                                                 The stock market faced a sharp downturn on Thursday, with the S&P 500 officially entering correction territory.

This incremental approach is part of a broader effort to address the concerns of younger voters, particularly those under 40, who have shifted their support to the Conservatives due to issues like unaffordable rent and housing costs.

The Liberals’ plan hinges on the success of the recent federal budget, which is designed to resonate with the key concerns of the younger demographic. The budget includes $53-billion in new spending and $21.9-billion in new tax hikes, aimed at demonstrating the government’s commitment to addressing the needs of this crucial voting bloc.

Despite the challenges posed by a late-stage political cycle and a general demand for change, the Liberals are hopeful that their strategy will yield positive results in the polls by July. However, pollsters warn that the headwinds may be too strong to overcome, and the success of the strategy remains uncertain.

As the Liberal Party works to implement its plan and communicate the benefits of the budget to Canadians, the coming months will be critical in determining whether they can narrow the gap and improve their electoral prospects.
