Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre visited members of the party's Quebec caucus Monday after nearly sweeping the province in a landslide victory over its former premier, Jean Charest.
Nearly all of the 10 Quebec MPs endorsed Charest in the contest, but Saturday's leadership results revealed Poilievre won almost all of the 78 ridings.
"Having a surprise visit of a leader on day one -- what a great message was sent to everybody. He listened to us very carefully for a full half an hour." Many Conservatives feel Poilievre's decisive first-ballot victory is the recipe for unity the party has lacked for the past several years.
