Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life (w/ Andrew Lawton, True North)

“When Pierre Poilievre was elected leader of Canada’s Conservative party in 2022, he vowed to put Canadians back in control of their lives,” says Andrew Lawton, author of “Pierre Poilievre, A Political Life.” Lawton goes on to say, “He took aim at the country’s elites and ‘gatekeepers,’ as well as governments that sneer at their own citizens.”

The book takes the reader throughout Poilievre’s life from adoption, his adopted father declaring his homosexuality, his fascination with politics from his teen years, and his brazen and forthright commitment to conservative policies.

Lawton says, “This book showcases Poilievre’s unique brand of conservatism which is galvanizing supporters and detractors alike. What emerges is a portrait of a radically authentic individual who has been plotting to be Canada’s prime minister since he was a teenager.”

We invited Andrew Lawton to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the man who wants to run Canada.

Pierre Poilievre is not corrupt, and I do not believe that he ever will be corrupt.

🎉🎉Prime Minister Trudeau is absolutely winning. Bitcoin can't offset inflation, axe carbon tax can't offset inflation. Canada inflation rate was 2.5 %in July 2024, giving bank of Canada more ammo to cut interest rate to 4.25 %and 4 %in the future month. Canada housing affordability is improving now. Canada has the 1st strongest budget balance rankings among the G20 countries 2023 and 2024 will be more better.

Polievre is a betterr politition, by far, Trudeau did not know economics

[UncleWally]

This is the one fundamental question I’d like Mr. Poilievre to answer: Will you, and your party, fully support the “anti-scab” legislation Canada’s Parliament passed in 2024 which prohibits employers from bringing in replacement workers during a strike?
