[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[Bauer]

What's going on with Poilievre and the Conservatives?

Have they made any statements of substance on... you know, all this... Greenland? NATO? Canada's place in the world?

Secondly - is Poilievre on track to win the impending leadership review?

Doubt he has anything of substance to contribute.  There was a time when I enjoyed PP attack dog shtick when I was really sick of Trudeau, but it's gotten to the point I can't listen to anything he says.

Blah blah blah everything is awful cause of the liberals blah blah blah.

The Globe had a good in-depth piece on this last week - the summary of their reporting is Poilievre will likely win, but the issue for him is what is his margin of victory.  Harper won his review by an overwhelming majority (something like 89%) and so he comfortably stayed on as leader. He then went on to win the next three elections. And so a high standard has been set.

They also say the reason we have not heard much from him over the last couple of weeks, is all his energy is currently concentrated on meeting with the delegates to the convention to answer any concerns they might have so as to get a significant margin of support in the vote.  Also, the last thing he needs is to come out with a position that is anti-Trump, remembering that the Conservative party is comprised of about 30% MAGA supporters.  So anything he says now that is construed as anti-Trump could push him below a 70% result at the review.
