Today, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will address his caucus members in Penticton before they return to Parliament Hill. Fresh from a visit to New York, where he advocated for tariff-free trade with the United States, Poilievre is back to focus on affordability issues within his party.
Conservative circles have been filled with tension this summer, with internal disagreements about the party’s direction involving some members of Parliament. Despite this, the Conservatives are trailing behind Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals in polls, with the ongoing trade conflict with the U.S. capturing the spotlight.
Looking ahead, Poilievre is gearing up for a campaign-style rally in Brantford, Ont., where Larry Brock is expected to step down as the region’s Conservative MP this week.
