Navigating Leadership Challenges: Pierre Poilievre's Path Forward

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is heading back to Parliament Hill after his by-election win in Alberta this week.

The federal Conservative Leader won the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot with 80.4 per cent of the vote, a decisive victory that affirmed his support among rank-and-file party members and sets the stage for a showdown in the House of Commons opposite Prime Minister Mark Carney.

But the vote in Battle River-Crowfoot was just the first of several tests ahead for the re-seated Opposition Leader in his broader quest to become prime minister.

Host Caryn Ceolin is joined by Lewis Krashinsky, a political scientist at the University of Toronto, to discuss the challenges that will determine Poilievre’s second shot at government.
