The Spin

Conservative Party narrative

Poilievre's historic 87.4% leadership vote proves Conservatives are united and stronger than ever. His Canada First policies offer sensible hope while expanding the coalition and driving Trudeau from office. The party's competitive position and positive vision demonstrate clear momentum toward restoring the Canadian dream.

Opposition narrative

The Conservative Party under Poilievre has surrendered to Liberal ideology and abandoned meaningful opposition. Focusing solely on grocery prices while embracing Justin Trudeau's post-nationalism makes the party completely harmless to the status quo. There's nothing to celebrate when Conservatives have been utterly defeated by liberalism.
