US EditionPoilievre prepares for leadership review as Conservatives gather in Calgary
Delegates will decide if Poilievre keeps leadership amid internal party divisions after last federal election loss, with polls showing he needs over 80% support to secure his position.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will put his tenure to a vote in Calgary on Friday, with delegates voting in person at the party's national convention after his address.
- As an automatic step under party rules after the April loss, the review follows complaints that the leader, national council and Conservative Fund hold too much control and lack transparency.

- The Conservative Party of Canada raised nearly $48 million through over 327,000 donations in 2025, while public polls show Liberals leading 39.2 to 35.2%, and Poilievre trails Mark Carney as preferred prime minister.
