Conservatives look to turn the page after ‘terrible disappointment’ of 2025
Conservatives aim to secure a majority of delegate votes for Pierre Poilievre amid internal challenges and electoral setbacks, according to party strategists.
- On Dec. 18, 2025, Pierre Poilievre's campaign is mobilizing delegates at the Calgary convention, with Hamish Marshall organizing support as Poilievre aims to secure a majority ahead of the leadership review.
- After the April 28 election shocks, including a Liberal win in Poilievre's Carleton riding, the Conservative Party's momentum shifted markedly, prompting a leadership review.
- Recent defections have underscored internal tensions as organizers prep for the delegate vote, with Kate Harrison saying, `It feels like a lifetime ago,` and two Conservative MPs leaving caucus.
- If the Liberals call another election, Poilievre said that would bolster his prospects, but Ian Brodie warned Prime Minister Mark Carney prolonging Parliament could complicate the challenge.
- Conservative strategists say the party must showcase talent beyond the leader to widen its appeal while Poilievre attends mainstream media outlets even if hostile and focuses on crime, immigration and housing.
