CALGARY—Conservative MPs sent a consistent message on the opening day of the party’s convention as delegates prepare to vote on the party’s leadership: back Pierre Poilievre to remain as leader and guide the party into another election.
“I’m confident that with Pierre as our leader, we will come out this weekend even stronger, even more united, showing Canadians that we’re ready to govern, and we are ready to restore the promise of Canada,” Conservative MP and Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman told Conservative Party members in Calgary on Jan. 29.
