Barring a miracle, Pierre Poilievre will easily win the federal Conservative leadership race when the party announces the voting results on Sept. 10.
He’ll have won largely by reinforcing his image as a political attack dog, exploiting voters’ fears and anger, fuelling citizen rage, and tacitly emboldening the extremists in his party and the anarchists in our society with cynical promises to restore their “freedoms.”
It’s a strategy straight out of the successful — and sleazy — campaign playbook of Donald Trump.
