Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will focus on rising crime rates, cost-of-living issues, travel delays, and increased government contracts to consulting firm McKinsey when Parliament reconvenes on Jan. 30.

Addressing Tory MPs at their caucus retreat on Jan. 27, Poilievre doubled down on former comments by saying again that everything in Canada “feels broken,” with which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously took issue.
