A Big Tent Under Strain

While most of the political conversation in Ottawa this week has centred on the ongoing trade war, tension is quietly building inside the Conservative Party itself.

According to a CBC report, the coalition leader Pierre Poilievre spent years assembling now shows signs of fracturing, even as the party publicly focuses on the trade fight. The report doesn't detail specific names or policy splits, only that internal divisions are emerging behind the scenes.

What's Not Yet Known

No details on who is involved or what exactly is driving the rift have been made public. As more comes out of Parliament Hill, we'll be watching for how this shapes the Conservatives' response to the trade war going forward.
