CALGARY
As the 2026 Conservative Party of Canada convention begins in Calgary, leader Pierre Poilievre awaits a crucial leadership review vote from over 2,500 delegates. The event highlights newly elected MPs from key ridings, emphasizing the party’s gains under Poilievre’s leadership amid concerns about his electoral viability against Prime Minister Mark Carney. Delegates express mixed feelings about Poilievre’s chances, yet many feel compelled to support him due to a lack of viable alternatives. His leadership review is set for Friday following his speech that night.
