Saturday’s results makes Poilievre the third elected leader since former prime minister Stephen Harper’s departure from politics and one that Conservatives hope will bring them to victory in the next federal election after three consecutive defeats to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. He extended his thanks to Aitchison for “running on ideas like simplifying and lowering taxes”, Baber for fighting back against vaccine mandates and Lewis for standing up for families and freedom during the race.
Poilievre’s focus quickly shifted to attacking the Liberal government, which he accused of driving up the cost of living and doubling the national debt.
