Thank you Sabrina, for allowing time for your questions to be answered. Thank you Pierre, for answering the questions.

This is the first time in my life I heard a politician give direct answers. There was no spin on things and he even admitted when he didn't know something. Loved the fact he saw young people as ambitious and simply wants a chance to prove themselves.

[setyourhandel]

Wow she actually let him speak.. not like some other interviewers who cut in all the time. She did a good job.

"We believe in big citizens and small government, " what a quote.

Hey pierre let's give the nurses and doctors back their jobs

I have been to a Pierre Poilievre rally.He is smart, witty, eloquent and in touch with Canadians concerns and issues., not angry . I left proud and hopeful for the first time in a long time .

I met Pierre in Calgary and there was an enormous sea of people waiting to shake hands with him. I was probably one of eight brown people there.

He'd been standing for hours and my turn came up and he couldn't hear me very well. We took a photo and I took a few steps to leave. He called back to me and said "Thank you for coming here and waiting in line to meet me.

It surprised me how sensitive he was to such things even at the busiest event I've been to in a while. Thanks Pierre!

I don't see Pierre angry at all. His points are right on. It's Canadians that are angry and I am one of them. We have been ripped off by the Trudeau Government ... ie taxpayer's money unaccountable several times, money to other countries, especially to the Ukraine several times. No wonder our deficit & debt is so humungous. There is so much more, this is why Pierre need to hold the Trudeau Government accountable. All you have to do is look at the mess our country is in and ask yourself "who cause the inflation" and why Trudeau did nothing to help Canadians.

[winstonsmith]

Simple Logic. No hesitation on his answers, no tele prompter. He knows the facts.

I was at a rally that Pierre had people of all ages, color and religious persuasion where there. All where energized and hopeful for the future . Flush TURDeu

Had know idea who Pierre was until watching this video. I've voted liberal my whole life. This guy is intelligent and reasonable. Will be voting for him in the next election.

[NotWBT]

So refreshing seeing a healthy interview. Straight to the point and no dancing around questions, no bickering or talking over each other either. How it should be done. 🙂

[williamadorjan]

This guy is the metaphor king, he explains an issue then generally follows it with a premier metaphor to ensure his point is communicated effectively.

[kimberlydee]

I was at his rally in Bradford in the spring. My boyfriend said I was so happy that day. Pierre brings hope back to Canada.

Pierre talk more sense in 20 minute interview without paper note than justin is whole life with paper note ...

[scootinwithseth]

Holy cow his answers actually make sense...every answer is filled with common sense! 🙌🏼

[nigelhutchinson]

Trudeau would need a stack of talking points the size of a dictionary to answer those questions. And they'd still make zero sense. This was an excellent interview with good questions and better answers. Thanks NP for giving PP a fair shake.

[coolbuddydude]

We're getting ripped off. of course we are angry.
