Pierre Poilievre just might be the only truly conservative politician left in the West, certainly among those leading or about to lead governments. Unlike his counterparts elsewhere, who are laser focused only on “anti-wokeness,” he has been able to marry a rejection of liberal excess with free market economics, which other conservatives have abandoned.
If he wins next year’s election and lives up to even a quarter of his promise, it will be a relief after a near decade of arguably the most obnoxiously progressive government in the world.
