Pierre Poilievre has called for national unity and claimed Canada is in a "full-blown" recession as the federal Conservatives navigate internal turmoil.
The Opposition leader's latest moves come as his caucus deals with several MPs crossing the floor, reports of infighting, and Poilievre's own public questioning of Prime Minister Mark Carney's economic credentials.
Poilievre's unity message appears aimed at Alberta separatists as momentum builds around a provincial referendum on separation set for this fall. Whether the strategy gains traction remains unclear — the party faces headwinds as it heads into summer recess.
