Conservative MP announces he will resign next month
Brock’s departure would make him the seventh MP to leave Pierre Poilievre’s caucus since the 2025 federal election, amid dismal polling and fundraising declines.
- On Thursday, Conservative MP Larry Brock announced his intention to resign from his Brantford–Brant South–Six Nations seat at the end of the summer, according to The Globe and Mail citing three unnamed sources. Brock will be the seventh caucus departure since the 2025 election.
- Internal instability plagues the Conservative caucus, which has seen six other members exit since the 2025 election. These departures include four floor-crossings, Saskatchewan MP Cathay Wagantall's resignation, and Quebec MP Richard Martel's appointment to the Senate.
- Winning 52 percent of the vote in 2021, Brock captured the riding, though a June shuffle removed him as justice critic. The district remains listed as "leaning" Conservative on the poll aggregator 338Canada.ca.
- Despite reports of his impending departure, Brock affirmed "full support" for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, calling him the "leader Canada needs." This stance contrasts with growing scrutiny over party direction and public spats within the conservative movement.
- Any upcoming by-election in the district will serve as a critical barometer for Conservative popularity in the region. Poilievre visited the riding earlier this week amid broader concerns over party direction, declining fundraising, and a restive caucus.
