Conservative caucus meets in B.C. ahead of return to Parliament next week
OTTAWA - Conservative Party members are convening in Penticton, British Columbia prior to their return to Parliament Hill. Premier Pierre Poilievre, the party's leader, is scheduled to speak to them today. This gathering precedes his departure for Ottawa.
Poilievre recently returned from New York, where he sought support from American media for reestablishing tariff-free trade between the U.S. and Canada. He has made it clear that his party's agenda will prioritize affordability concerns.
The Conservative Party has faced internal strife over the past summer due to disagreements regarding the party's direction. The Conservatives currently trail behind Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party in public opinion polls. The ongoing trade dispute with the United States has been a major topic of discussion over the summer.
Poilievre is set to host a campaign-style rally this weekend in Brantford, Ontario. It is anticipated that Larry Brock, the Conservative MP for that area, will resign this week.
