Poilievre Strikes Back in Calgary, Targets Carney and Media Outlets
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered a sharp critique against Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canadian media outlets CBC and CTV during a fiery appearance in Calgary on November 13, 2025. Addressing local supporters, Poilievre asserted his commitment to challenging mainstream narratives and upholding conservative principles.
"My plan is to continue to lead and be the only leader in the country that's fighting for an affordable Canada where people who work hard can afford a home and food," Poilievre declared. This statement underscores his ongoing efforts to galvanize support across Alberta, positioning himself as a vocal defender of free speech and conservative values. His Calgary stop is part of a broader campaign focused on addressing perceived media bias and pressing economic issues, themes that resonate strongly with many Albertans.
For Calgarians, the issues of affordability, particularly housing and food costs, remain significant concerns. Despite record housing starts in the city in 2024 and continuing into 2025, affordability remains a challenge, with rising home prices and rents impacting many households. Economic outlooks for Calgary in 2025 project growth but also highlight ongoing challenges such as a high unemployment rate and the impact of inflation. Poilievre's focus on these economic pain points aims to connect directly with the financial realities facing residents in the city and province.
