Pierre Poilievre: Stronger At Home – Leverage Abroad (Full text)

Leave a comment

To some extent the speech that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre gave at the Economic Club of Canada, in Toronto, on Thursday February 26, 2026, seems like a response to what Prime Minister Mark Carney said at the World Economic Forum a month before. Here is the full text, obtained through MP Aaron Gunn’s constituency office in Ottawa.

Toronto, ON – Merci beaucoup. Thank you very much to Michael and Shelby, two critical members of our Conservative team, to deliver a stronger Canada at home so we have unbreakable leverage abroad. Nearly two thousand years ago, Marcus Aurelius delivered a timeless truth:

Will there be a spring election in 2026?

Once again, the polls suggest Mark Carney’s government could win a majority if there were an election right now. 338Canada suggests the Liberals could win as many as 185 seats, while the Conservatives shrink back to 125.

Some believe Canada may have a spring election in 2026.

Gunn said, “If I were a betting man, I would bet there’d be an election within the next two years for sure, but this spring – we’ll see. I think it will be up to Prime Minister Carney and the Liberal government. Speaking as a Conservative, I don’t think we’re going to force an election this spring.”

Thank you, Larry.

It’s a pleasure – and a duty – to be with you tonight in this pivotal moment that Canada and the world are going through.

Tonight, I’ll talk about a rupture in the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction, and the beginning of a harsh reality where geopolitics – where the large, main power – is submitted to no limits, no constraints.
