Conservative Influencers Turn Their Backs on Pierre Poilievre
So, here’s something that’s flown under the radar unless you’ve been really tuned in: the conservative influencers who helped push Pierre Poilievre’s political momentum have gone strangely silent. I’m talking about the creators with big followings on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, X, and Instagram — the ones who rose from the Freedom Convoy days and spent years championing Poilievre’s every move. These aren’t just loud voices; they were central to his image as the outsider shaking up the establishment. But now? Crickets.
After Poilievre lost the federal election, he made personal calls to many of these influencers. The timing wasn’t random. He was clearly trying to re-ignite the energy that once gave him such a powerful grassroots boost. One influencer confirmed, off the record, that he’d called them just to say thanks and check in — a first-time, totally unpaid connection. But since then, even with that polite gesture, there’s been almost no renewed endorsement or rallying around him.

The timing couldn’t be worse for Poilievre. With Mark Carney enjoying a post-election honeymoon and dominating the national stage, Poilievre has been pushed to the sidelines. A new byelection looms in Alberta where he’s trying to re-enter Parliament, and a leadership review awaits in January. Inside the party, MPs remain outwardly loyal — many owe their seats to him — but political patience has its limits, especially with poll numbers hitting new lows. A recent Nanos poll showed only 25% of Canadians see him as prime minister material. That’s the lowest he’s scored since becoming party leader in 2022.
And it’s not just the numbers. Watch his interviews — like the one with Sean Speer — and you’ll sense the shift. When asked if Donald Trump qualifies as a conservative, Poilievre dodged the question. His tone was far from defiant; it felt almost wistful. The conviction, that signature fire in his voice? It’s flickering. And when asked to take responsibility for the election loss, he didn’t. He cited external factors — Trudeau stepping down, Trump’s global shadow — but not his own choices.
Movements thrive on momentum. Poilievre once had it in abundance, especially from that convoy-aligned base. But now that movement has splintered or redirected itself. It’s not that the conservative fire is gone — it’s that it no longer burns for him. And that’s a serious problem.
Whether he rebounds depends on whether he can re-establish that old connection with his base, win back some national visibility, and redefine his role in this rapidly evolving political landscape. But right now, he’s a man on the outside looking in — and even his biggest fans aren’t talking about him anymore.
