Show Notes

Canadian Conservatives converge on Quebec City this weekend for the party’s first in-person convention in five years.

The event comes as the party is riding high in summer polls and presents an opportunity for leader Pierre Poilievre to cement his standing in the minds of Canadians.

National Post political reporter Catherine Levesque joins the show to discuss what main themes you’ll hear from Conservatives this weekend, where there could be controversy for the party, and what’s at stake for both the party and Poilievre.
