‘Empty slogans, reckless stunts’: Liberals react after Tories vote to keep Poilievre as CPC leader
Pierre Poilievre won 87.4% support in a leadership review at the Conservative convention, despite criticism from Liberal Party members over his political approach.
- On Thursday, Jan. 30, 2026, Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, secured 87.4 per cent support in a leadership review in Calgary.
- Poilievre shifted his messaging at the convention, speaking for more than 45 minutes flanked by supporters holding signs with the slogans `real change` and `choose hope` and offering support to Prime Minister Mark Carney's government on lowering U.S. tariffs.
- Yesterday, Liberal MPs Corey Hogan, Taleeb Noormohamedi and Rachel Bendayan said Conservatives `doubled down` on Poilievre and on `divisive, American-style politics` rejected last spring, adding he delivers `empty slogans, reckless stunts, and pandering to the far-right`.
- Despite two recent defections, Conservative MPs who spoke before Poilievre on Thursday and Friday insisted the party is united, while Ontario MP Costas Menegakis said Liberals have tried to `sow division`.
- Becoming emotional, Poilievre spoke about being away from his family and asked, `Sure, the words have changed, the style has changed, but what's changed in your life?` to criticize the Liberal government since Carney's election.
