Canada has never had a federal Conservative or Liberal leader who fit the term “career politician” more precisely than Pierre Poilievre. He was consumed by politics as a kid and has done nothing except politics ever since. A well-rounded man, he is not.
In his book, Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life, right-side journalist Andrew Lawton traces the Leader’s first political meetings to his early teens, when his mother took him to pro-life events in Calgary. Even before he graduated from high school he was working in the office of Reform Party MP Art Hanger, hauling in $600 a month.
Would Poilievre be where he is today if Trudeau was not PM?
