Former Conservative Campaign Manager Calls for U.S. Link to Cost‑of‑Living Message
Jenni Byrne urges Conservatives to tie U.S. trade ties to Canada’s affordability crisis.

In a February 1, 2026 CBC interview, former Conservative campaign manager Jenni Byrne urged the party to keep its messaging about Canada‑U.S. trade fluid and explicitly tie it to Canadians’ escalating costof living. Byrne, who ran the Conservatives in the 2025 federal election that saw the party gain seats yet fall short of government, noted the 20‑point lead they once held in polls. She said shifting U.S. tariffs, trade diversification and defence spending all feed the affordability crisis, and that the party must adapt as geopolitical threats evolve. Byrne highlighted Poilievre’s 87.4% approval after a leadership review, her role at the Calgary convention, and that she is now advising the caucus on future election strategy.
