Canadian Conservative leader faces party unrest as Trump divides party
- On November 4, after Prime Minister Mark Carney released his first budget, Chris d’Entremont, Conservative member of parliament from Nova Scotia, switched to the Liberals, bringing Carney closer to a majority.
- In recent weeks Pierre Poilievre has doubled down on adopting U.S. President Donald Trump’s combative style, and last month he suggested Justin Trudeau should have been jailed, fueling party discontent.
- Last week one legislator defected to Carney’s Liberal Party and signalled others may join, and two days later another Conservative quit while Chris d’Entremont said Wednesday he didn’t feel represented.
- Poilievre faces a party leadership review in January after opposing Carney’s budget and now confronts defections as Carney’s approval rating stays above 50% in several polls.
- With the base shifting, Frank Graves, pollster and founder of Ekos Research, found the Conservative Party’s core resembles the U.S. Republican base, while Greg MacEachern warned two defections could give Prime Minister Mark Carney a majority.
