Pierre Poilievre’s good fortune: His supporters don’t see his hypocrisy
With the deadline for signing up new members now over, the race to become leader of the federal Conservative Party of Canada enters a critical new phase: facing reality.
Say what you will about Mr. Poilievre’s policies – many of which range from disturbing to all-out bonkers – his campaign is a well-oiled machine. Whether it is successful in getting all those people it signed up to vote for him remains to be seen, though all the candidates will face the same issue. The fact that his supporters are blind to the gross hypocrisy that underscores much of Mr. Poilievre’s public persona is just good fortune on the candidate’s part.
Even his populist bill aimed at “medical freedom” doesn’t hold water. His proposal explicitly mentions only COVID-19 vaccine mandates.will give Mr. Poilievre pause about the direction he intends to take the Conservatives should he win in September, which is to say to the hard right.
