The Grand Seduction. That’s how some media outlets referred to Pierre Poilievre’s many visits to Quebec this summer. It’s perhaps a reference to the 2013 movie of the same name based on the 2003 French version, “La Grande Séduction.”
The film centres around the struggling fishing village of Ste-Marie-la-Mauderne in Quebec, where all residents are on welfare and engage in charming antics to secure economic revival. This metaphor fittingly encapsulates Poilievre’s campaign trail across the province.
