Pierre Poilievre’s new challenge
Pierre Poilievre needs to engage the issues with serious debate and policy and leave behind the fringe theories and divisiveness of his leadership campaign.
The candidate is now the leader. Can Pierre Poilievre rise above the divisive tactics of his Conservative leadership campaign to grow into the role of a potential prime minister in waiting?
That is, after all, the role that Poilievre now has after his overwhelming win to become leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and leader of the official opposition.
The answer to that question will determine whether Poilievre can build the Conservatives to be a credible challenger to the governing Liberals, a task that requires the support of a broader base of Canadians beyond what he built to win the leadership.
