A handful of Conservative MPs stopped on their way into a caucus meeting this morning to tell reporters they’re backing their leader as questions swirl about Pierre Poilievre’s ability to stay in the job.
MP Andrew Lawton says Poilievre is doing a tremendous job and received resounding support from the party membership at its recent convention.
Deputy leader Melissa Lantsman and House leader Andrew Scheer both say the caucus is united behind its leader.
That’s something Conservatives have said repeatedly since November, when the first of four Conservative MPs defected to join the Liberals.
AI Minister Evan Solomon, who was involved in helping recruit Marilyn Gladu to the government benches, says the Liberals are talking to lots of people about crossing the floor.

Poilievre closed out a speech in the House of Commons on Tuesday by saying he plans to lead Conservatives into the next election.
They should ban political parties and make everyone run independently.
I will never ever support the Liberals or NDP. I grudgingly have to vote for the Conservatives or throw my vote in the toilet. Never in my life have I felt so utterly screwed by governments at all levels. If not the Lib/NDP garbage in Ottawa, its the NDP garbage here in BC.
Carney is a shyster and the media is complicit in the downfall of democracy.
When the lieberals take power, that country is in trouble
When caucus members have to keep reminding the press of their loyalty to the leader, that leader is in trouble

Milhouse just doesn’t understand that Canadians will keep saying no to this man. It doesn’t matter how many times he tries to rebrand himself or who he hires for his communications department.
“A handful of Conservative MPs stopped…to tell reporters they’re backing their leader”. A handful is probably pretty accurate these days.
This manufactured narrative is getting old
The general.population is still split in roughly the same way as far as support goes and within his oarty he has record level support
Those with enough brains to understand the role of the Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition will understand why he must sometimes be confrontationl to this increasingly corrupt and scandalous government. His only mistake was to fail to recognize some of the more sleazy members of his caucus. Naturally the governing party has welcomed them with open arms, and perhaps even with inducements.
Pierre’s really good at only wo things – getting paid by taxpayers and whining about what others do, without having a plan of his own.
Here in lies the problem with this… The loud mouth malcontents on either side make it appear like the whole of the country is either red or blue. That’s simply not true. There are a wide range of centrist voters that will vote for the best candidate for the job and not just because they love their slogans or are bleeding heart hippies. This is not the US. Grow up Canada and actually act like you love this country instead of tearing it down like they did down south.
They will never win with the albatross PP.
