A new poll has thrown the Conservative party into chaos—Canadians overwhelmingly say Stephen Harper, not current leader Pierre Poilievre, is the only right-wing figure who could beat PM Mark Carney. With 33% believing no Conservative can unseat Carney and nearly 20% unsure who even stands a chance, the party’s future looks grim. Even Ontario’s Doug Ford got more support than Poilievre. Inside the caucus, MPs are quietly admitting the poll reflects deep unease—and some fear Poilievre won’t survive to the next election. His outdated populist tactics aren’t resonating, and upcoming byelections could be his undoing. Meanwhile, Harper’s potential return looms as a wild card—even if his past controversies make it seem unlikely, the leadership vacuum has created space for anything. The next few months will decide whether this party can find its way—or if it’s headed for a major shakeup. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
