The paradox of the current Conservative Party of Canada leadership race is that the front-runner in the contest to replace Erin O’Toole is seeking to move the party in the opposite direction of where most available voters seem to be heading.
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau scales new heights of unpopularity, with more than half of Canadians now holding a negative opinion of the Liberal leader, Conservatives have a rare opening before them to capture the centre. With the ranks of disaffected Liberals swelling by the day, countless Canadians are scanning the horizon for a credible alternative to the Grits.
Another of the Globe’s recent Poilievre Panic Pieces.
Poilievre is not an extremist, he will not govern as an extremist. He will turn out to be much the same as the previous two Conservative party leaders. Say one thing to get elected then do another if not the exact opposite once in power.
I like Poilievre, he’s fun. He is not the savior you are looking for because the Conservative party is not conservative any more.
