I Asked Why Conservatives Lost - I WAS FLOORED BY HIS ANSWER

from Tap The Maple · host Hosted By Chris Baker

Andrew Lawton has just been appointed Platform Lead for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada, and his new job comes at an incredibly important moment.After three Conservative by-election losses, serious questions are being asked about what's working, what's not, and what has to change before the next federal election.So I put those questions directly to Andrew.We get into Pierre Poilievre's leadership, why Conservatives are struggling to break through with some Canadian voters, the party's strategy following the by-election results, Canada's deteriorating relationship with the United States, and whether Conservatives have found the right message on trade.We also discuss Mark Carney extending the federal fuel-tax break after Pierre Poilievre called for an extension himself — and why Conservatives can propose an idea only to watch the Liberals implement something similar and potentially receive the political credit.And now that Andrew Lawton is helping shape Conservative policy, I want to know what comes next.What does the next Conservative platform actually need to accomplish? What has the party learned? And can Pierre Poilievre change enough minds to win the next election?This isn't about softball questions. It's about finding out what Conservatives intend to do next.#cdnpoli #canada #canadian #canadalife #canadanews #interviews #politicalinterview #politicalinterviews #ldonont #parliament #PierrePoilievre #AndrewLawton #ConservativeParty #MarkCarney #CanadianPolitics #CanadaPolitics #CPC #Canada #TapTheMaple #BakesOnThings #canadiannews #stthomas #londonontario #canadianeconomy #costofliving #economy #jobs #layoffs #tariffs #donaldtrump #america #usa #trade #tradewar
