OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is accusing corporate Canada — including natural resources companies and housing developers — of “sucking up” to the Liberals and is urging them to actively campaign against the government.
The audience for his latest salvo at the corporate sector was the sector itself, a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade breakfast, which Poilievre acknowledged isn’t the kind of crowd he talks to that often.
He told a room of business leaders and numerous Conservatives that his affection for the business world lies with the entrepreneurs who risk it all to make a living — not the lobbyists or CEOs who only focus on what’s best for themselves.
