Stephen Maher: How the racial makeup of Poilievre rallies could be used against him
Last week, when Pierre Poilievre held a huge rally in a show-jumping facility on Calgary’s southern edge, I observed on Twitter that the enthusiastic crowd seemed to be mostly made up of white people, which might pose a problem for Poilievre.
This tweet — part of a long, not very interesting thread about Poilievre’s event — struck some people the wrong way, and I have since then been denounced hundreds of times, most recently in the National Post earlier this week by columnist Rupa Subramanya, who implied my comment constitutes a racist attack on Poilievre and his supporters.
