Poilievre Panic #1 – Where would Poilievre take the Conservatives? Not to the far right, but the far out

Where would Poilievre take the Conservatives? Not to the far right, but the far out

People keep trying to get a read on where Pierre Poilievre would take the Conservative Party. Would he, as some fear and others hope, position it on the far right – fiscally severe, socially intolerant and so on?

Or is he, as others argue, more of a mainstream conservative than his hard-line rhetoric would suggest – witness his refusal to legislate on abortion, or his proposals to make it easier for new immigrants to have their credentials recognized in Canada.


Andrew Coyne needs to step back from the pipe. His screen must be soaked from frothing at the mouth producing this bit of Laurentian hysteria.
