Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is making a strategic play for the all-important 905 region of Ontario by talking about … Quebec.
It’s subtle, and so far, it hasn’t resonated much beyond French-language media and ethnic media in Ontario. But a wedge is starting to emerge between Mr. Poilievre and Liberal Leader Mark Carney on laïcité: on Quebec’s Bill 21, and where the two parties stand on freedom of religious expression. And that might matter, if only as a matter of principle in some of the most diverse ridings in the country, where the Conservatives have to do well if they want a shot at forming government.
There is a strain of westerner who will defend to the death a Mohammedan’s right to slit your throat.
