Canada: ‘Pierre Poilievre is giving me strong Ron DeSantis vibes’

By 2025, Canada will have suffered through a decade of Trudeau, largely because of an activist media, along with a divided Right. A vote on June 10 to choose a new leader for the Conservative Party of Canada could finally see the building of a united Right. With that, hope is building for the 2025 election, even though it is three years away.
During the globally publicized Freedom Convoy truck protest in Ottawa in February that saw Trudeau humiliated internationally, the left-leaning head of Canada’s official opposition Conservative Party of Canada, Erin O’Toole, was thrown out as leader by his own caucus. While O’Toole met with the Freedom Convoy demonstrators, he also “distanced himself from the protest and ultimately denounced it.” It looks as if it cost him big to do so.
The great hopeful that has emerged to possibly replace O’Toole is Pierre Poilievre, a Member of Parliament for the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton. He has been drawing star-status crowds on his campaign tour. According to Global News in Canada, Poilievre “has been consistently appearing before massive groups of people at rallies across the country,” dubbed “unprecendented” by observers.
The dominance of the Conservative camp by CINOs (Conservative in Name Only) is well known, leaving disappointed grassroots Conservatives. In fact, watch Polievre’s opponent grin from ear to ear in this video, in a pathetic attempt to save face, as Poilievre calls him to account:
Should Poilievre win, by all indications he would be a formidable opponent to Trudeau.
His popularity even prompted an overtly partisan Leftist pollster, Frank Graves, to tweet a threat to Poilievre, thereby exposing the Left’s deep fear of a Conservative win. The no-nonsense Poilievre fired back:
“CBC pundit threatens me. The gatekeeping elites will try to destroy anyone who threatens their power. I’m not backing down,” Poilievre said in a Tweet on Wednesday. “Help me defund the CBC, remove the gatekeepers, and give you back control of your life.
Canada’s national broadcaster, which is tasked to represent all Canadians, is mostly an activist mouthpiece for the Trudeau government, which funds it handsomely. Rather than compete, it is bankrolled by taxpayers, raking in 1.4 billion a year. |
