Poilievre Faces Leadership Vote at Calgary Convention
Poilievre will address Calgary delegates Friday evening to avoid a leadership vote
On Friday, 30 January 2026, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre will speak at the party’s convention in Calgary, slated to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET. The speech focuses on immigration, crime, cost‑of‑living relief and western alienation, with the aim of securing an overwhelming majority of the 2,500 delegates’ votes in a mandatory leadership review. Poilievre lost the 2025 federal election and his Ottawa seat, but the party achieved its highest vote share in a generation under his watch. Recent defections include two floor crossings and one resignation, adding to the stakes. Deputy leader Melissa Lantsman urged unity, and former PM Stephen Harper’s 84 % 2005 win is cited as a benchmark.
