Poilievre wins 87.4% review as Alberta separatism grows
Pierre Poilievre wins a decisive 87.4% in a Conservative Party leadership review in Calgary, reinforcing his hold on the party even after last spring’s loss to Mark Carney’s Liberals and his own seat defeat. The in-person delegate vote signals that party insiders want continuity on Poilievre’s core agenda: affordability, crime, and smaller government. The bigger question now is national cohesion. Poilievre directly addresses rising separatist sentiment in Alberta, where organizers are collecting signatures for an independence referendum, and in Quebec, where the Parti Québécois is polling strongly and pledging a referendum if it forms the provincial government later this year. He also links domestic policy to Canada’s ability to withstand geopolitical pressure and a strained relationship with the United States.
