Summary
In the wake of the recent Canadian election, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre faces internal blame for the party’s loss, particularly after losing his own seat despite a 42% share of the popular vote. With the party struggling to understand the defeat, Poilievre plans to run in a special election for a seat in Alberta, where he is expected to succeed. Critics, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, argue the party’s failure to unite and engage with popular provincial leaders contributed to the disappointing outcome, prompting calls for reflection and healing within the party.
