New Title: Conservatives Weigh Poilievre’s Future as Leadership Review Looms

 

                Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre faces a critical test before his party on Friday.

Party insiders say Poilievre has spent recent weeks focused heavily on delegates, working to secure a strong mandate in the review.

The outcome of the vote will shape the party’s strategic path forward. A commanding result could solidify Poilievre’s leadership and signal continuity, while a weaker showing may prompt renewed calls for change within the Conservative ranks.
