Pierre Poilievre

Canada’s Conservatives spent years feeding the fantasy of Alberta separatism. Now they have to crush it

Canadians have more trust in Prime Minister Mark Carney now than they did in former prime minister Justin Trudeau after he was first elected, a new poll suggests.

Prime Minister Mark Carney shook up his cabinet on Tuesday by moving some key players involved in Canada-US relations into new positions and promoting 24 new faces in a move meant to signal change at the top.

The MAGA movement has long defined itself through its willingness to deny the legitimacy of election results. After their recent defeat, Canada's Conservatives are now flirting with their own election conspiracy theories.

Canadians have been fed a steady diet of climate noise — photo-ops, grand announcements, and lofty targets — none of which have translated into serious emissions reductions.

"While I’m under no illusions that political parties will magically disappear at the federal level, I do think the existential threat represented by the Trump regime offers an opportunity to do things differently," argues Jeremy L. Caradonna, City Councillor for Victoria, BC.

The Conservative caucus has tapped former leader Andrew Scheer to lead the party in the House of Commons when Parliament resumes on May 26 — a role that's needed because Pierre Poilievre lost his seat in last week's election.

Newly elected Conservatives and returning MPs are set to meet in Ottawa this morning as the party charts its path forward after last week's election loss to the Liberals.

By letting his opponents expose the smallness of their politics, Carney’s will start to look bigger by comparison.

The Conservative leader has made it clear now he intends to stay on, so the lessons he and his party settle on won’t just determine Poilievre’s political fate. With 8 million voters and a fanatically devoted base behind him, the lessons he takes from this election will shape the future of political discourse in this country.

Alberta MP Damien Kurek is resigning so Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre can run for office in a by-election.

Bruce Fanjoy says he achieved something unexpected in Monday's election — the defeat of a high-profile Conservative leader in his own riding — simply by showing up on doorsteps and paying attention to what voters in Carleton were telling him.

Some Conservative MPs are expressing support for party leader Pierre Poilievre after he lost both the federal election and his own seat on Monday.

A group trying to make a case for electoral reform by creating very long ballots is declaring victory in this week's election — even as critics accuse it of indulging in stunts that undermine democracy.

As many debate the immediate future of the Conservative Party, including whether Poilievre should remain at its helm, Conservatives confront a more existential threat: can the party avoid fracture?
