The Conservatives’ post-election power struggle has begun
Description
Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative party, with the campaign’s momentum and tightening polls, could yet declare victory in the federal election. But the party infighting that started early in the campaign already has some sniffing around a potential leadership change, as the Political Hack newsletter’s Tasha Kheiriddin and Stuart Thomson discuss with Brian this week. Our 2025 election panel also gets into the surprises that could come with last-minute voters, the curious advertising blitzes of the two front runners in the race’s dying days, and Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s exorbitant platform promises and his growing smugness about his standing. They also consider the new, likely power status of the Bloc Québécois, should either party need the separatists to sustain a minority. (Recorded April 25, 2025)
