Poilievre says no reflection on his leadership style following floor crossing and resignation
- On Wednesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre took questions from journalists for the first time since two MPs left caucus last week, speaking around 12:45 p.m. ET in Calgary with CBC live coverage.
- On the day the budget was tabled, Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont crossed to the Liberals, citing opposition to Poilievre's `negative` leadership and an aggressive office confrontation.
- Poilievre told a business audience in Toronto late last week and criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney's budget and its $78-billion deficit, calling pipeline building unlikely under Carney's watch.
- Two days after the floor crossing, Matt Jeneroux, Edmonton MP, announced his exit, and sources say the defections have given the minority Liberal government more breathing room for next week's confidence vote.
- Media coverage of the defections has overshadowed news of Prime Minister Mark Carney's first budget, raising the stakes ahead of next week's confidence vote, Campbell Clark, Globe chief political writer, says.
