OTTAWA — Federal Liberal MPs will descend on a coastal resort town in New Brunswick on Sunday for a planning session before Parliament returns from its summer break.
Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre decisively won his party's leadership contest on Saturday evening and is expected to pose the biggest challenge to the Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since the 2015 election brought them to power. Publicly, however, some Liberals are celebrating Poilievre's win. They're characterizing him as more polarizing, more right-wing and more easy to paint into an extremist partisan corner than former Quebec Premier Jean Charest, who finished a distant second in the leadership race.
In a written statement issued with Montreal MP Rachel Bendayan, LeBlanc called Poilievre"reckless" and tried to stoke internal Conservative division by saying even some Tories call the new leader's ideas"highly questionable" and"irresponsible." And the post-COVID-19 recovery era, in a world rocked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is providing plenty of tricky ground to navigate for a government some are seeing as tired and lacklustre after seven years in office.
