Poilievre says he will stay on after Carney wins majority

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he will remain in his post and continue opposing the Liberal government after Mark Carney won a majority, even as some party members question his future. Speaking at a Conservative conference in Ottawa on Thursday, Poilievre rejected calls to soften his message or adopt a more moderate style. He argued that changing course would mean abandoning the millions of Canadians who voted Conservative. The article says recent polling shows support for his leadership has weakened among past Conservative voters, with more respondents now saying he should be replaced. Still, no formal move to trigger a leadership review has emerged within the caucus. Poilievre also used the event to attack Carney’s record, saying the new prime minister has not done enough to change federal policy on deficits, affordability, trade, or energy development. He said Conservatives will keep pressing the government to speed up approvals for major resource projects, while Ottawa continues to pursue measures aimed at faster project decisions.
