B.C. Conservative candidate tells Poilievre to ‘unite, not divide’ after Stampede jab
Caroline Elliott said Poilievre’s remark celebrating her defeat was disappointing and urged Conservatives to unite after a close leadership race.
- Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sparked backlash at the Calgary Stampede last weekend by mocking B.C. Conservative leadership candidate Caroline Elliott and her team, calling them 'Liberal lobbyists from out east.'
- Former Conservative MP Kerri-Lynne Findlay defeated Elliott in the B.C. Conservative leadership race at the end of May with 51 per cent of the vote to her 49 per cent. Elliott's campaign team included several of Poilievre's former staff.
- Poilievre's comments reportedly targeted Kory Teneycke, a former staffer for Stephen Harper who has run campaigns for Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Teneycke was critical of Poilievre during the 2025 election campaign.
- Elliott posted a video on social media Thursday, expressing disappointment that Poilievre celebrated her defeat. "The race is over, and it's time to unite, not divide," she said.
- These comments have raised fresh questions about Poilievre's leadership following MP defections to Prime Minister Mark Carney's government. Poilievre's caucus now stands at 139 members after Carney appointed Conservative MP Richard Martel to the Senate on Monday.
