- Former PM Stephen Harper endorses Pierre Poilievre at massive Alberta rally.
- Estimated 12,000 attend, one of the largest campaign events in Canadian history.
- NDP support declines, turning Western Canada into a two-party contest.
Stephen Harper’s endorsement of Pierre Poilievre has sent ripples through the Canadian political landscape. Addressing a crowd south of Edmonton, Harper praised Poilievre as the leader Canada needs for a “better, stronger and more united future.”
While the Conservatives flex their muscle in Alberta, Liberal Leader Mark Carney is holding his own in British Columbia. With NDP support steadily declining in the region, the political map is shifting.
Western Canada Turns Into Battleground as Harper Endorses Poilievre
In a show of force, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre rallied thousands south of Edmonton. It marked one of the largest political events in Canadian history. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a rare public appearance to throw his full support behind Poilievre. He described Poilievre as the candidate who can lead Canada into a united and prosperous future.
Harper’s endorsement is more than symbolic—it bridges Poilievre’s populist appeal with the Conservative establishment, consolidating party support. For Poilievre, the backing could prove crucial in rallying undecided voters and fortifying his base in traditional Conservative strongholds.
Meanwhile, Liberal Leader Mark Carney is making strategic moves in British Columbia, a province vital for electoral success. His rally in Richmond underscores the Liberals’ efforts to solidify their influence. This comes as the NDP continues to bleed support in the polls.
As the NDP’s numbers dwindle, Western Canada is shaping into a classic two-party showdown. With massive rallies and heavyweight endorsements, both major parties are investing heavily in the region’s political future.
The campaign landscape in Western Canada is rapidly evolving. With high-profile endorsements and record-breaking crowds, the race between the Conservatives and Liberals is heating up fast.
“Leadership is about finding a better path forward—and right now, Pierre Poilievre is that path.” – Stephen Harper
