Calgary (Rajeev Sharma)– Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is set to rally supporters in Calgary on Friday, aiming to fire up his Western Canadian base ahead of the upcoming federal election. The event, scheduled at 235 Aero Way NE with doors opening at 12:30 PM, is a key campaign stop as Poilievre sharpens his appeal to Alberta voters.
The Conservative leader is expected to double down on core issues such as affordability, inflation, and energy independence. In a recent campaign video, he pledged to scrap the federal electric vehicle (EV) sales mandate if elected, criticizing it as a policy that punishes provinces like Alberta, which rely on oil and gas industries.
“Canadians deserve affordable choices, not federal mandates,” Poilievre declared. “We will put power back in the hands of the people, not Ottawa.”
His message is aimed squarely at voters who feel alienated by federal climate policies and rising living costs. The Calgary rally is part of Poilievre’s broader push to consolidate Conservative support in Alberta, a province that has historically backed right-leaning candidates.
As the election nears, the Conservative campaign is banking on strong performances in Western ridings to counter potential Liberal gains elsewhere in the country. Friday’s rally is expected to be both a show of strength and a call to action for party loyalists.
