- On Wednesday, Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre convened his caucus in Penticton, B.C. for a strategy session before the House of Commons returns next week.

- Poilievre said Tuesday in Vancouver that "the promise of Canada...that promise is broken after 11 years of Liberal government," framing his caucus's mission as fighting to save Canadians money.
- Following MP Jamil Jivani's criticism of those appearing to "appease people in positions of power," Poilievre faces pressure to manage internal dissent amid a trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump.
- While 80 per cent of Canadians support deepening European cooperation, Poilievre warned the party would not surrender sovereignty: "We never surrender our independence and sovereignty over our laws, our tax money, and our immigration policies.
