CALGARY — While Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre awaits his fate from delegates in the party’s heartland, it will be his newest additions to caucus that will be given the spotlight at convention. The speakers will be a show of what the party achieved under Poilievre as delegates prepare to vote on whether to keep him as leader. Sandra Cobena and Costas Menegakis, who each captured seats in Ontario’s must-win Greater Toronto Area, were also set to take the stage over the three-day convention, with Poilievre set to speak on Friday night. It is wins like these that Poilievre and his closest supporters have been emphasizing to delegates ahead of the convention. Periversoff recently met the Conservative leader at an event held in a neighbouring riding, one of the many Poilievre has been holding in the lead up to his leadership vote.
