If you are wondering what Pierre Poilievre has been up to while Prime Minister Mark Carney hosted the G7 Summit in Alberta, announced a new Canada-European Union security-and-defence partnership in Brussels, and signed on to a NATO pledge to massively boost military spending at The Hague, hogging the spotlight has definitely not been it.
The Conservative Leader has been all but invisible as Mr. Carney moves with lightning speed to steer “the biggest transformation of our economy since the Second World War,” as he likes to call it. That is likely by choice. There is not much Mr. Poilievre could say or do right now to distract attention from the new Prime Minister as he unleashes sweeping reforms to kickstart major infrastructure projects, negotiate a new economic and security pact with U.S. President Donald Trump and overhaul the public service.
I imagine the media is enjoying Poilievre’s deep freeze, he hasn’t exactly endeared himself to the press.
