OTTAWA - The Conservative party's diverse leadership has been embroiled in infighting for months. An annual membership fee of $205.00 + GST is available, which automatically renews at $233.00 + GST every 52 weeks. The party's leader, Pierre Poilievre, has been criticized for failing to unify the coalition under his guidance. Several MPs have accused him and Premier Mark Carney of prioritizing political self-interest over Canadian workers, while others have taken to social media to voice their grievances.
Some, like AI critic Leslyn Lewis, have clashed publicly with party figures over issues such as the Alberta government's data centre strategy. Meanwhile, the party faces challenges in appealing to voters across Canada due to differing perspectives on key issues like immigration, crime, and public drug use. Poilievre's coalition also grapples with backlash against the online influencers he brought into the party, some of whom feel the movement is better aligned with the U.S. MAGA movement.
Despite these challenges, the Conservative Party remains the only federal party with a significant number of supporters who hold a positive view of Trump.
