Candice Bergen’s announcement Wednesday that she’s resigning as a member of Parliament caps a year of turmoil for the Conservative party, which is only now beginning to find its footing under new leader Pierre Poilievre.

The Conservatives have seen the numbers break their way before, but still leave them heartbroken. They won the popular vote, but failed to capture the majority of seats in both the 2019 and 2021 elections.
Bergen’s chief task was rebuilding a shattered team even as the nation’s capital — and the nation’s politics — were mired in the anti-government “Freedom Convoy” protest and its aftermath.
