Probably no other leader, including Justin Trudeau, has landed in a party leadership with less real-world work experience than Pierre Poilievre, says Don Martin in a column for CTVNews.ca. But Poilievre’s an able communicator, and this weekend’s Conservative convention is a golden opportunity for him to sell himself as PM-in-waiting.

    Wow what a shit article.

    Edit: tell me how you really feel Lemmy, he’s likely going to win the next election even if it’s a minority.

      How so? It’s just laying out the fact that the man has never had a real job, or struggled with cost of living.

      It’s an opinion article, that’s pretty standard stuff.

        Poilievre was adopted to parents of modest means who had to sell their house in the crash of the 80’s.

        Wonder if Trudeau had silver cutlery in the 80’s.

          Cool, he’s also a lying scumbag that will do anything to enrich himself, and get himself more power.

            Like calling an election in the middle of a pandemic because your numbers are falling fast?

              It’s hilarious how cons think I automatically like our current PM because I think Skippy is an idiot. I don’t care about anything you have to list, because I’m not talking about Trudeau. If the best defence you have is to attack some other guy, MAN y’all are in worse shape than you realize.

              Skippy supported a group that was attempting to overthrow a democratically elected government, and constant pushes bullshit conspiracy theories.

                I’ve voted NDP more than I have conservative. I dislike many things about Poilievre, but I believe he’s got the best chance of reigning in inflation and housing issues. He’s proposing playing hardball and that plays with a lot of Canadians right now who are feeling the absolute shitshow of the last 8 years.

                  Again, I don’t care how you’ve voted. If you’re considering voting for the cons with him in charge you’re an idiot. Flat out. Conservatives only ever make things worse, every single time.
