Conservative Party of Canada

When you’re up against an opponent willing to trade in bad-faith arguments and deliberately misrepresent the data, you can’t afford to assume the facts will speak for themselves, writes columnist Max Fawcett. 

The Conservative Party of Canada's plan to host a third leadership debate in August may be crumbling, with one candidate refusing to attend and another mulling whether it's really necessary.

Brown, who has served as mayor since 2018, had previously said he would consider seeking re-election if it seemed like he couldn't win the federal leadership. 

The revelations from the Jan. 6 committee hearings in the U.S. should serve as a stark warning to Canadians as to what happens when conspiracy theories and disinformation become mainstreamed by the political establishment.

A spokesman for disqualified Conservative leadership candidate Patrick Brown says he won't be making any decisions about running for re-election as a Greater-Toronto-Area mayor until he has time to talk with his friends and family.

But the convoy-tinged rot in the Conservative Party of Canada goes much deeper than some of its members, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Not all the plotters have been identified, but they’re known to include a handful of senior strategists, one former cabinet minister, and Jean Charest, the only leadership candidate with any hope of beating Pierre Poilievre, writes Arno Kopecky.

If we want our country to remain as safe as possible, we’re going to need to remember that American-style freedom comes with American-style costs.

Canada isn’t in any danger of embracing Hungarian-style fascism, but the manipulation of the media could easily serve as an inspiration for our conservatives, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Ed Fast said Wednesday he believes Pierre Poilievre's pitch to fire the Bank of Canada governor over the country's inflation rate, which is the highest it’s been in 30 years, hurts the party’s credibility on economic issues. 

Purging the Conservative Party of Canada’s tent of hate is going to be very difficult, given how long and hard people like Pierre Poilievre have worked to churn it up against any number of supposed enemies, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Is the Conservative Party of Canada going to elect a wise person as their next leader, asks columnist Max Fawcett, or fall for Pierre Poilievre’s infomercial sales pitch?

If the Canada Strong and Free unofficial debate last night is any sampling of the mood of conservatives in this country Pierre Poilievre is their man.

Piere Poilievre's reluctance to fight as hard for the freedom of pregnant people to choose as he did for the Ottawa convoy protesters is understandable, given the central role anti-abortion voters have played in the last two Conservative leadership races, writes columnist Max Fawcett.
