MONTREAL—It’s hard to get a second chance to make a good first impression. Pierre Poilievre will be trying to do just that as he embarks on an early-year visit to Quebec next week.
The latest Conservative leader has his work cut out for him. In Canada’s second largest province, Poilievre is not only much less popular than his main rivals, but he is also off to a poorer start than his three predecessors.
In voting intentions, the Conservative party lags far behind both the leading Liberals and the Bloc Québécois. At 19 per cent, the party’s Quebec tally is its lowest provincial score.
