Speaking to reporters after the speech from the throne on Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre struck a decidedly institutionalist tone.
“We joined today in thanking His Majesty for coming to Canada and delivering the throne speech, reinforcing our ancient, great British liberties,” he said. “A parliamentary system that goes back 800 years. A system that has served Canada well and has been the foundation of what I love to call the Canadian promise.”
A Conservative praising the monarch might not seem unusual. Former foreign affairs minister John Baird, a close ally of Poilievre’s, once demanded that his department hang a portrait of the Queen in the foyer of its headquarters.
So far Carney has kept the LPC tradition of lying intact, about Orange Man, about Housing, about spending, about immigration, about China etc etc etc…
Populism will kill him.
