Poilievre urges Conservatives to speak for Canadians, put national interest first
Poilievre said Conservatives must put country before party as internal divisions and defections continue to pressure the Official Opposition.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promised to unite the Official Opposition behind the national interest during a caucus retreat in Penticton, B.C., on Thursday, urging MPs to prioritize country over party loyalty.
- Poilievre accused Prime Minister Mark Carney of "secretly negotiating" with the European Union this week, insisting decisions for Canada "must not be made in Washington, Beijing or Brussels, but by Canadians here at home."
- The Conservatives face internal instability as four MPs have defected to the Liberals and Conservative colleague Larry Brock is set to resign his seat this week, leaving multiple ridings vacant.
- Political science professor Lori Turnbull noted deep divisions within the party, observing that "there's no election in the offing" and the government remains secure with its majority.
- The Tory leader will hold a campaign-style rally this weekend in Brantford, Ont., in Brock's riding, marking his first return to the stage since the April 2025 election.
