In Pierre Poilievre, the federal Conservative Party of Canada has found its most effective, electable leader since Stephen Harper.
And perhaps someone who can vanquish Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the next general election and cast the federal Liberal Party to the political sidelines.
While one may not like the way Mr. Poilievre achieved his victory – among other things, by flirting with freedom protesting extremists and promulgating crazy conspiracy theories – it must be acknowledged that his straight-ahead march to his party’s leadership was singularly impressive.
He’s got the Smurf vote.
