On Saturday he won the race for the lead in the CCP with more than 68% of the votes.

Pierre Poilievre advocates a right that prevails, a right that is not afraid to say it is right […] and that’s what we expect in the west, explains Frédéric Boily, Professor of Political Science at the University of Alberta.

Pierre Poilievre won the CPC leadership race with over 68% of the vote.

According to the political analyst, the CCP leader’s victory speech could resonate widely in the Prairie provinces.

Pierre Poilievre has widely denounced the Liberal government’s environmental policies and in particular the project to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers to reduce greenhouse gases […] so many issues that remain very sensitive in these provinceshe said.

” It’s the idea that Justin Trudeau’s liberal government has not only bad policies, but anti-Western policies. This is often seen, including in Alberta and Saskatchewan, portrayed as liberal attacks on western Canada. »

I think that Pierre Poilievre will have a special sensitivity to the alienation of the western provincesadds Christopher Adams, political scientist and principal of Saint Paul College at the University of Manitoba.

Christopher Adams not only plays with the idea that the West is constantly disadvantaged by liberal politics, he also notes it Pierre Poilievre also tried to focus his speech on inflation, housing, energy and food costs.

According to the political scientist These are issues Manitobans face every day.

The members of CCP want a united party in Manitoba

Abe Wiebe, chairman of the Saint Boniface-Saint Vital Electoral District Association, voted for Leslyn Lewis, the social conservative rural Ontario MP. However, he said he was ready to join the majority: I hope it will bring us unity.

According to Frédéric Boily, there is little room for differing opinions. It is clear that there are progressive conservatives who feel constrained by what Pierre Poilievre is proposing, but for the moment they are in the minority, they have no choice but to rally.

He adds that Some may quit, but the way he won means the plan to create a progressive conservative wing outside the party, as we saw this summer, has been put on hold for now.

For Rejeanne Caron, a volunteer for Pierre Poilievre, the gathering power of her candidate is unquestionable. She was present on election night.It was absolutely electric, it was historic. I’ve never seen a candidate with so much support, she exclaims. It’s very exciting.

Shola Agboola, former federal candidate and member of the CCP, also voted for Pierre Poilievre. He is convinced of thathe will know how to vote.

Pierre Poilievre must now set up his shadow cabinet. An important step, believes Frédéric Boily, because we were able to see several MPs from western Canada.
