Poilievre set to try to rally Conservative MPs ahead of Parliament’s return
The Conservative leader is trailing badly to Mark Carney’s Liberals, ties to shift political conversation from “speeches, summits” to results felt by Canadians.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is preparing to rally his MPs following a turbulent summer marked by infighting and polls indicating his party's continued lag behind the federal Liberals. The Conservative caucus is meeting in Penticton, B.C., for a strategy session ahead of the House of Commons' return next week. Recent polls from 338 Canada show the Liberals leading with 46 percent support, while the Conservatives trail at 33 percent.
Poilievre, who has faced criticism from within the Conservative party, including a perceived jab at Ontario Premier Doug Ford's campaign manager, Kory Teneycke, has emphasized the party's focus on fighting for Canadian voters and saving them money. Poilievre criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney for prioritizing summits and signing ceremonies over delivering results for voters.
He also expressed concern about the Liberal's push for stronger cooperation with the European Union, emphasizing the importance of preserving Canada's independence and sovereignty. Despite internal challenges, Poilievre's recent remarks echo the theme of his 2025 election campaign, promising a return to Canadian values.
