A young Pierre Poilievre sits in front of a room of Conservative faithful and explains their party's strategy for winning a majority mandate.
That hasn't happened yet. It's 2009 and while the Tories have won two federal elections, they've remained in minority territory for three years.
Enter Arpan Khanna. This week, Poilievre tapped the Greater Toronto Area lawyer, who served as one of the co-chairs on his leadership campaign in Ontario, to co-ordinate outreach efforts. The new leader has taken the idea of "building a Jason Kenney style of outreach" to heart, Khanna said. "He's all into this. He understands the importance of it.""We recently were at someone's backyard for a barbecue party with about 100 people from the Tamil community, just having a conversation about their issues."Often travelling with him are his two deputy leaders.
During a roundtable with ethnic community media convened during the race, Poilievre said immigrant and Conservative values are the same: "hard work, family, freedom, tradition.
Lantsman and Uppal both publicly apologized for supporting what became known as the "niqab ban." But Poilievre has defended the policy as simply requiring "that a person's face be visible while giving oaths at citizenship ceremonies."
