The Conservative Party has confirmed former MP Damien Kurek as its candidate in Battle River–Crowfoot for the next federal election, a move that also signals leader Pierre Poilievre does not plan to defend the Alberta seat he won in a 2025 by-election.

The decision was made by the party's national council, which passed a motion confirming Kurek as the riding's candidate and waiving a local nomination contest.

The Conservative Party has not publicly said which riding Poilievre intends to contest next.

Pierre Poilievre will be proposing the Canadian Sovereignty Act.

The goal is to unlock Canada's potential and make our country more affordable, self-reliant, and sovereign.

Here's how it will bring home the half-trillion dollars of investment that has left over the past decade:

End capital gains tax on any reinvestment in Canada.
Repeal anti-pipeline and anti-development laws.
Go from the second slowest permits in the developed world today to become the fastest.
Rapidly greenlight a new pipeline to the Pacific to ship a million barrels of oil per day.
End the industrial carbon tax on industry and farmers so they can more affordably produce what we need.
Create Free Trade Bonuses for provinces and territories that open their markets to fellow Canadians, tear down internal barriers, and strengthen national economic unity.
Cut taxes on work, investment, homebuilding, and energy to make more for less and with greater independence.

I like Poilivere better than Stephen Harper. Harper was a prog type conservative. He would not touch mass immigration.

Mr. Carney will not be happy. He does not want Mr. Poilvere holding his feet to the fire in another election.

If Mr. Pollivere is unsuccessful in the next election he is finished. Every indication at this point is that he will lose.
