First the win, now the work: What Pierre Poilievre has to do next as new Tory leaderOTTAWA — Pierre Poilievre woke up Sunday with a list of things to do as he embarks on his first week as the Conservative party's new leader, while his former rivals offered assurances he could count on their support. The 43-year-old walked out of the convention centre in Ottawa where the party's leadership election results were revealed Saturday night with a massive victory. Poilievre won nearly 70 per cent of members' support on a first-ballot victory against four other candidates. Joel Godin, one of those MPs, previously mused he would need to think about his political future if Poilievre were to win. He has no shortage of people to choose from, given that 62 out of the other 118 Conservative MPs backed him in race.
