This is Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party. What will he do with it?

‘Battle for soul’ of Conservative Party looking more like a rout Coupled with significant backing from the party’s elected caucus and unelected senators, that means Poilievre is unlikely to face the internal skepticism and backbiting that plagued Erin O’Toole’s brief leadership.Poilievre is also unlikely to be forced into the tightrope act former leader Andrew Scheer attempted, keeping the party united behind him after winning the 2017 leadership by the slimmest of margins.Instead, Poilievre and his team will have the kind of free hand enjoyed by Stephen Harper – the only Conservative leader who won power – during the party’s years in government between 2006 and 2015.The most pressing question now is what they intend to do with that mandate.In the depths of the Ottawa winter, as trucks and protesters clogged the nation’s capital filling it with fumes and endless horn blows, a black flag appeared on the back of a big rig. It read “Pierre Poilievre for Prime Minister.”It appeared just weeks after the Conservative caucus met to show Erin O’Toole the door after the party’s disappointing showing in the 2021 general election.

Pierre Poilievre elected leader of the Conservative Party of Canada

Pierre Poilievre, one of the first members of Parliament elected under the Conservative party’s banner, won the leadership race Saturday night.The party veteran and former cabinet minister, known for his combative style, won a resounding first-ballot victory – with 68 per cent of support – that prompted applause to erupt in the room of Conservative faithful at a downtown Ottawa convention centre.Jean Charest, the former Quebec premier who likely had the best chance of preventing Poilievre from winning the leadership, earned just 16 per cent of support on the first ballot, placing him in distant second place.Poilievre also earned widespread support across the country, being the first choice for Conservative party voters in nearly every riding. This is Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party.
