www.theglobeandmail.comHere are the latest publicly available updates on Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Leader in Canada:
-
Per Globe and Mail (Feb 2, 2026): Poilievre celebrated a successful leadership review with minimal dissent at the policy convention; a notable outcome was that a proposal advocating for conversion therapy did not advance. This suggests continued party cohesion around his leadership, with some contentious policy debates at the convention.
-
Poilievre’s official pages summarize his ongoing role as Leader of the Conservative Party and MP for Battle River—Crowfoot, highlighting his long-standing commitment to free-market principles and individual responsibility, and noting his prior service in other ridings and cabinet roles. These sources frame his current leadership tenure and political stance.
-
In broader Canadian political coverage, Poilievre has been active in by-elections and parliamentary activity, including statements about economic issues and policies intended to reduce the cost of living, and his party’s initiatives in Parliament. These items appear in multiple outlets and parliamentary listings.
-
Coverage from other outlets (CTV, Global News, OpenParliament, and CBC appearances) show ongoing media presence, including performances in media availability, policy priorities, and parliamentary appearances since taking leadership, with various analyses of his messaging and strategy.
