The narrative: Despite the recent attention paid to the topic in the U.S., crypto is not a major electoral issue during this year's Canadian election. Neither leading Prime Minister candidate has campaigned on the topic, but here's how they've discussed the issue in the past.

敘述：儘管最近對美國的話題引起了關注，但加密貨幣並不是今年加拿大大選期間的主要選舉問題。首相候選人都沒有在這個話題上進行競選，但這是他們過去討論這個問題的方式。

Why it matters: Canada infamously saw massive crypto exchange collapses over the past few years, leading to concerted efforts from its provincial regulators to enact guardrails on the digital asset industry. While exchanges like Coinbase are calling for policies like a Canadian government task force or a bitcoin reserve, so far the leading candidates for Prime Minister seem to have other issues on their minds (namely: U.S. relations and trade, housing and the economy).

為什麼重要的是：在過去的幾年中，加拿大臭名昭著的加密交易所崩潰了，導致其省級監管機構的一致努力為數字資產行業製定護欄。儘管Coinbase這樣的交流呼籲制定加拿大政府工作隊或比特幣儲備等政策，但到目前為止，總理的主要候選人似乎在他們的腦海中遇到其他問題（即：美國的關係和貿易，住房，住房和經濟）。

Breaking it down: When Canadians go to the polls on Monday, they'll be selecting their preferred candidate for Member of Parliament in their local riding (district). The party with a majority of seats will form the country's new government, and the leader of that party will become the new Prime Minister.

分解它：當加拿大人周一參加民意測驗時，他們將在當地騎馬（地區）中選擇他們首選的議會議員候選人。擁有大部分席位的政黨將組成該國的新政府，該黨的領導人將成為新任總理。

While the Conservative Party and its leader Pierre Poilievre held comfortable leads in polling averages through late-January 2025, the Liberal Party saw a massive surge in popularity after U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs with Canada (and most other countries). The Liberal Party, now with leader Mark Carney, has held a significant edge ever since, according to both polling data and Polymarket. Carney took over from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party last month.

當保守黨及其領導人皮埃爾·波利維爾（Pierre Poilievre）在2025年1月下旬的投票平均值方面保持舒適的領先優勢，但自美國總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）宣布對加拿大（以及大多數其他國家）的關稅，自由黨的受歡迎程度大大增加。根據民意調查數據和多聚市場，自那以後，現在與領導人馬克·卡尼（Mark Carney）的自由黨一直保持著重要優勢。卡尼上個月從前總理賈斯汀·特魯多（Justin Trudeau）接任自由黨的領導人。

Pierre Poilievre

石頭

Poilievre is a longtime Bitcoin and blockchain advocate who has led the Conservative Party since September 2022. He owns shares in a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). In 2022, he promised to turn Canada into the "blockchain and crypto capital of the world" during a campaign speech (a phrase Trump later used on the 2024 campaign trail).

Poilievre是一位長期的比特幣和區塊鏈倡導者，自2022年9月以來一直領導保守黨。他擁有比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）的股份。在2022年，他承諾將加拿大變成競選演講中的“區塊鍊和加密之都”（特朗普後來在2024年競選活動中使用的一句話）。

"I want to take control of money away from politicians and bankers, and give it back to the people," Poilievre said. "We need to give people the freedom to choose other money. If the government is going to abuse our cash, we should have the right to opt to use other, higher-quality cash."

Poilievre說：“我想從政客和銀行家那裡控制金錢，並將其交還給人民。” “我們需要給人們選擇其他錢的自由。如果政府要濫用我們的現金，我們應該有權選擇使用其他高質量的現金。”

He even bought shawarma using bitcoin during his campaign for Conservative Party leader, discussing digital assets in a 30-minute interview with the owner of the restaurant.

他甚至在為保守黨領袖的競選活動中使用比特幣購買了Shawarma，並在與餐廳的所有者進行了30分鐘的採訪中討論了數字資產。

He supported Canada's trucker protest, which dubbed itself the "Freedom Convoy" in early 2022 to object to a vaccine mandate for any truckers crossing the U.S.-Canadian border. At the time, the Canadian government sought to freeze financial support for the protestors, including by sanctioning crypto wallets tied to the truckers.

他支持加拿大的卡車司機抗議活動，該抗議活動在2022年初稱為“自由車隊”，以反對任何越過美國加拿大邊境的卡車司機的疫苗要求。當時，加拿大政府試圖凍結抗議者的財政支持，包括制裁與卡車司機綁定的加密錢包。

While Poilievre does not appear to have specifically linked Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to the truckers who may have lost banking access, he did call bitcoin "the single most important asset you could own."

雖然Poilievre似乎沒有專門將比特幣或其他加密貨幣與可能失去銀行業務訪問的卡車司機聯繫起來，但他確實將比特幣稱為“您可以擁有的最重要的單一資產”。

Poilievre has also opposed the Bank of Canada's research into a central bank digital currency, arguing that it could infringe on privacy rights or let lawmakers target benefits to supporters. Last year he supported a bill which would have banned a Canadian CBDC outright (echoing U.S. Republicans who have done the same here).

Poilievre還反對加拿大銀行對中央銀行數字貨幣的研究，認為它可以侵犯隱私權，或者讓立法者以支持者的目標為目標。去年，他支持了一項法案，該法案將禁止加拿大CBDC直接（與在這裡做同樣的共和黨人相呼應）。

Canadian magazine Maclean's reported that while Poilievre has said less about crypto in recent days, the Conservative Party as a whole still tends to support the industry, citing various Members of Parliament who have introduced bills or otherwise discussed crypto.

加拿大雜誌MacLean的報導說，儘管Poilievre在最近幾天對加密貨幣的說法卻較少，但整個保守黨仍然傾向於支持該行業，引用了議會的各種成員，他們引入了賬單或以其他方式討論了加密貨幣。

Poilievre did seem to discuss crypto publicly less after FTX's dramatic collapse in 2022, which his political opponents used to issue warnings about Poilievre's prior advocacy for digital assets. Poilievre may also be reckoning with Trump's unpopularity in Canada, and seeking to distance himself from policies that may imitate the U.S. President's.

在FTX在2022年劇烈崩潰之後，Poilievre似乎確實不太公開討論加密貨幣，他的政治反對者曾經對Poilievre先前對數字資產的倡導發出警告。 Poilievre也可能會估計特朗普在加拿大的不受歡迎，並試圖與可能模仿美國總統的政策保持距離。

Mark Carney

馬克·卡尼

Carney was the head of both the Bank of Canada and later the Bank of England. While he hasn't said a lot about Bitcoin, he did give a speech on the "future of money" in London in March 2018, where he criticized digital assets' use, citing speculative mania and a lack of vendors willing to accept it as a payment tool.

卡尼（Carney）是加拿大銀行和後來的英格蘭銀行的負責人。雖然他沒有對比特幣說很多話，但他確實在2018年3月就倫敦的“貨幣未來”發表了演講，他批評了數字資產的使用，理由是投機性躁狂症和缺乏願意接受它作為付款工具的供應商。

"The long, charitable answer is that cryptocurrencies act as money, at best, only for some people and to a limited extent, and even then only in parallel with the

“漫長而慈善的答案是，加密貨幣充其量只能在某些人和有限的程度上作為金錢，甚至只有與
