Carson Jerema: Erin O’Toole’s plan for permanent Liberal government

Carson Jerema: Erin O’Toole’s plan for permanent Liberal government

Prime Minister Mark Carney has baffled Conservatives. This can be seen in the party’s failure to update a strategy that was targeted towards Justin Trudeau’s obnoxiously progressive tenure in office. Whether they like it or not, Carney is not Trudeau. All this approach has accomplished has been to permit the current prime minister to remain high in the polls by simply being a different person than Trudeau, who had become so broadly unpopular that anyone displaying a modicum of competence would have succeeded with voters.

More than half of Conservative voters want Poilievre to lead the party into next election

More than half of Conservative voters want Poilievre to lead the party into next election

More than half of past Conservative voters want Pierre Poilievre to lead the party into the next election, although a growing minority would like to see him replaced before then, a new poll has found.

The public-opinion survey for the non-partisan Angus Reid Institute found that 30 per cent of past Conservative voters want Mr. Poilievre to step down before the next election compared with 18 per cent surveyed in August.

The message that worked against Trudeau will work against Carney who has not lived up to anyone’s expectations.

Be patient while the MSM devotes itself to coverage of Poilievre’s real & imagined shortcomings while granting Carney a free ride.

And remember even the RCMP has predicted riots.

Poilievre May Be Struggling Right Now, but the Kids Still Like Him

Poilievre May Be Struggling Right Now, but the Kids Still Like Him

It’s already political legend. In 2025, Justin Trudeau stepped down as prime minister just as Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives were cruising toward a massive majority government. Within weeks of Mark Carney taking the helm of the Liberals, the political landscape was transformed. By April, the Liberals had secured another mandate—a turnaround with virtually no precedent in Canada in terms of scale and timing, and one that few observers would have predicted at the start of the year. Yours truly included.

Don’t often link to the Walrus but here it is.

Unhappy Conservatives shouldn’t defect to Carney’s Liberals — they should replace Poilievre

Unhappy Conservatives shouldn’t defect to Carney’s Liberals — they should replace Poilievre

It’s like déjà vu all over again.

Yet another Conservative MP, uncomfortable with the direction of the party or doubtful about its electoral prospects, has decamped to the Liberals. The fourth floor crossing from the CPC in six months — with more MPs reportedly considering the move.

Although the first three departures smacked of opportunism with a side of dissatisfaction at the culture of the party under Pierre Poilievre, the most recent defection speaks to a more concerning issue: the abandonment not only of the leader, but of conservative ideology itself.

Jamie Sarkonak: How Marilyn Gladu awkwardly fits into the Liberal party

Jamie Sarkonak: How Marilyn Gladu awkwardly fits into the Liberal party

What started out as a small scrape is turning into a long bleed. On Wednesday, 11-year Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu left caucus and joined the Liberals after denouncing floor crossers. You can actually make it make sense if you really squint, but for Pierre Poilievre, that doesn’t help much.

Gladu should repulse the Liberals: she’s dined with Freedom Convoyers; stood up for an alleged constituent whose bank account was frozen for buying a convoy T-shirt; spoken at the National March for Life; praised Donald Trump before he was president.

Up to 40 Conservative MPs fear Pierre Poilievre will cost them their seats, insiders say

Up to 40 Conservative MPs fear Pierre Poilievre will cost them their seats, insiders say

OTTAWA—Up to 40 Conservative MPs are worried that they could lose their seats if Pierre Poilievre leads the party into the next election against Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney, said two federal Conservative sources after the party lost a fourth MP on Wednesday.

Dissatisfaction and worries about their future under Poilievre’s leadership has many questioning whether or not a bolder move to spark change is required, with some MPs discussing whether to invoke caucus powers to force Poilievre out, according to one federal Conservative.

40? I bet.

And tell me who among the conservatives is going to lead them post Poilievrre?

Conservative MPs bristle as Pierre Poilievre asks them to justify their roles

Conservative MPs bristle as Pierre Poilievre asks them to justify their roles

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is shuffling his deck, sending Elon Musk-style letters to his shadow ministers asking them to prove their worth.

Monday’s email was referred to by one Conservative as “DOGE-like” — a reference to Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” which sent emails to U.S. federal government workers last year demanding that they list their past week’s accomplishments or resign.

Bonus, Poilievre’s latest podcast appearance.

The Most Telling Moment Of Poilievre’s Joe Rogan Interview

The Most Telling Moment Of Poilievre’s Joe Rogan Interview

On the surface, Pierre Poilievre’s recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast had more good than bad. The Conservative leader came across as likable, down-to-earth, and clear. He stressed the need to unleash Canada’s energy potential. He called for cutting regulations that have suppressed innovation. He pushed for lower government spending. These are all sound ideas and Canada would surely benefit from them.

Poilievre announces auto plan aiming for tariff-free access to U.S. market

WINDSOR – Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has unveiled a new auto plan aiming to secure tariff-free access to the U.S. market.

The plan would harmonize tailpipe emissions reductions with the U.S., and align Canada with the United States on Chinese tariffs in a move meant to give Canada leverage in trade talks.

Poilievre would also implement a rule where for each car produced in Canada, the same manufacturer would be able to sell a U.S. or Mexico-made car in Canada duty-free.

Will the Conservative Party ever protect the unborn? Canada’s top pro-life activist weighs in

LifeSiteNews recently sat down for an interview with Jack Fonseca, director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition, the largest and most significant pro-life group in all of Canada.

In his position, Jack oversees the responsibility of electing pro-life, pro-family, and pro-Christian candidates across Canada. Jack is a devoted Catholic, father, and quietly one of Canada’s most important figures in the pro-life movement. In this discussion, Jack holds nothing back in discussing the evils of the left-wing abortion movement, the failure of the Conservative opposition, and the strategy behind turning Canada into a pro-life country once again.

This doesn’t sound like the Pierre Poilievre we’re used to

Pierre Poilievre says he would rather work with Prime Minister Mark Carney to fight Donald Trump than plunge the country into another election to choose which man is the better negotiator.

The Conservative leader declared that choice in a 40-minute podcast interview with former CBC anchor Peter Mansbridge, featuring some fascinating glimpses into how Poilievre intends to shift his tone this year.

Just no pleasing The Star.
