Doherty, Western Conservative MPs make Maclean’s Power List

Cariboo-Prince George MP Todd Doherty, along with his caucus colleagues from Western Canada, were named to Maclean’s magazine’s annual Power List.

Western Conservative MPs were named No. 35 on the top-50 list of Canadian power players.

“From Ted Falk in Manitoba’s Provencher to Todd Doherty in B.C.’s Cariboo-Prince George, they represent a region with nearly one-third of Canada’s population and make up more than half the CPC caucus,” Maclean’s list says. “They skew more populist, tough-on-crime and pro oil than the country as a whole or, for that matter, eastern Conservative voters. Ever keen to exploit wedges, both Erin O’Toole and the Liberal government conduct affairs with this bloc’s outsized clout in mind.”

Maclean's named "The Children Who Never Came Home" from Canada's residential school system their top power players of 2022.
