Ep 042: The Fallout of Canada's Federal Election For The Pool Industry | The PromoMinds Podcast
In this episode, Steve breaks down what the 2025 Canadian Federal Election means for Canadian pool professionals. With Mark Carney now leading a Liberal minority government, we look at what this could mean for housing policy, energy efficiency programs, and the broader pool and spa supply chain.
We’ll dive into how trade tensions with the U.S. and China are influencing prices and availability of key materials like steel, vinyl, fiberglass, and plastics—and what Canadian retailers can do to stay competitive. Plus, I share insights on the growing popularity of heat pumps and smart pool tech, and why products like Hayward’s HeatPro® VS Series are worth paying attention to right now.
Key Takeaways:
✔ What Carney’s housing and trade agenda could mean for pool builders
✔ Why heat pumps and smart tech are gaining ground across Canada
✔ How to use tariffs as a talking point—not a setback
✔ What to do now to position yourself for a stronger 2025 season
