Canada:

Conservative MP-elect for Battle River—Crowfoot Damien Kurek is resigning his seat to allow Conservative Party Leader, Pierre Poilievre, to run in a forthcoming by-election.

Quite literally one of the safest Conservative seats in the nation. In Alberta of course.

They won it with +80% of the vote this election

The conservative party should move past him, his net approval was still negative and Canada has shown that they don't like a politician who's right of centre-right. Time to anoint an eastern Progressive Conservative as as the leader.

Apparently he has a Trump-like hold on the party.

Funnily enough, Poilievre doesn’t look like a cult leader. Whereas Trump perfectly fits the part of a sociopathic Mafia leader – the kind whose Brown Shirt lieutenants you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley.

Not going to happen. Red Toryism is basically dead in Canada. Even Kim Campbell has thrown them under the bus.
