Poilievre says he’s forging ahead
Despite having less leverage in the House of Commons, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he will forge ahead in opposition — and criticized the Liberals for how they went about gaining their majority.
“The Carney Liberals did not win a majority government through a general election or today’s byelections. Instead, it was won through backroom deals with politicians who betrayed the people who voted for them,” Poilievre wrote in a social media post.
“Liberals expect Canadians to give up, get complacent and go away, so Carney can have total power without any accountability. That will not happen. Our country and its people are worth fighting for.”
Although some of his former MPs helped Carney gain this majority via floor-crossing, Poilievre says he intends to stay on as leader.
“I will continue to lead that fight every day and in every way in Parliament, across the country and in the next election, when Canadians will reclaim the country we know and love.”
