Meet Canada’s new Tory leader vowing to boot out Justin Trudeau
Canada’s new populist Tory leader claimed Justin Trudeau’s government had ruined “the lives of its citizens” as he kicked off his bid to boot the prime minister out of office.
Pierre Poilievre, 43, has branded the country’s decades-high inflation “Justin-flation” to hammer Mr Trudeau’s public spending levels as he becomes his main challenger.
It was this combative style that propelled him to a landslide victory last Saturday in the Canadian Conservative Party’s leadership election.
