At what point will the establishment/moderate wing of the supposed centre-right recognise that the successes of Trump, Meloni and (hopefully, IMO) Restore, evidence that fence-sitting and trying to appease the legacy media is just going to guarantee more failures at the ballot boxe and more empowerment of the radical Left?
To what extent do you blame Trump's offensive comments in relation to Canadian nationhood for your loss? In both Canada and Australia perceived alignment to Trump ended up derailing promising right wing electoral campaigns.
Hi Pierre, when Trump is gone who will the left blame? will they ever stop the suicidal empathy and policies that are at best just bad ideas and at worst hostile to the population?
Canadian listener here, Conservative voter. How will you deal with voters who have embraced "elbows up" and define being Canadian simply in opposition to the US?
I am a longtime Conservative supporter, and so is my family. We’ve attended your rallies, volunteered during your Alberta by-election campaign, and remain active locally in the party.
As an Alberta MP who grew up in the province, you know many Albertans feel deeply alienated from Ottawa. I want Alberta to remain part of Canada, but rising separatist sentiment reflects real frustration — and at times even I feel torn about what best serves the province.
If you were to become Prime Minister, what permanent, long-term changes would you put in place to ensure Alberta feels genuinely respected and fairly represented within Canada — regardless of which political party forms government in the future?
What is the Canadian Conservative party's plan to stop the brain drain of all high skilled Canadians from fleeing to the US? The joke already is that Silicon Valley is just a wrapper for the University of Waterloo - so what benefit does Canada get when it spends capital educating its youngest generation only for them to move south for better opportunities and quality of life? How will the Canadian Conservative Party entice these individuals to return and build up the Canadian economy?
Like many I was surprised when Carney edged the election, and also like many believe Trudeau changed the face of Canada for ever. Carney seems to be edging towards a relationship with an out of touch and soon to be out the door "old Europe" via Brussels. When the resurgent right manifests power in Europe, especially vis-a-vis "remigration", where do you see Canada's direction?
Do you have any plan to become a new type of leader who tells the people what is really going on in the country and stops following instructions from political psychologists/sociologists on how best to pander to feelings measured by pollsters?
Liberals/Progressives/Democrats can only win elections by campaigning on new "free-stuff" giveaways and fear about the existing giveaways ending. How can conservatives connect with voters who are addicted to their "free-stuff" and convince them to give up their habit for workable solutions?
Mr. Poilievre. I am a supporter, but frustrated at conservative voters who lack courage, and instantly scatter at the mere mention of trump. I see TDS as alienating even long-term conservative voters and also lead conservative policies to embrace woke ideology. Even gender ideology which has been dismantled in other parts of the world, is accepted by current conservative government policies. I see this as the same trap as conservative party in Britain, where there isn't a real conservative party. How do you hope to attract median voters, while retaining true conservative policies. I believe you have to win these arguments, where people can see that 'bigoted views' are actually more nuanced and mainstream ideas than the mainstream media would portray.
As an American who has enjoyed your wit on YouTube for years, and who grieved at your loss last year, I have to wonder, might the Conservatives be better off with a standard bearer who is able to replicate your command of the facts but deliver it without the snark?
What are the structural problems with the voting system or districting that hurts the center-right and helps the left? I have heard this mentioned in passing but I am unclear on the details.

Canadian here! Please ask my question!!
If the Conservative's get into power, how will you manage Canada's managerial/bureaucracy class to get policies and legislation passed?

Simple one: what are you going to do differently now?
What is one thing the world can learn from Canada and what is one political idea you would like to see brought to Canada from elsewhere?
Liberals/Progressives/Democrats can only win elections by campaigning on new "free-stuff" giveaways and fear about the existing giveaways ending. How can conservatives connect with voters who are addicted to their "free-stuff" and convince them to give up their habit for workable solutions?
How can you even hope to bring sanity back to Canada after so many decades of left wing indoctrination, rolling back the crazy will take decades.
