Pierre Poilievre leads polls as Canada's Conservative Party eyes next election

nytimes.com

Pierre Poilievre, the leader of Canada's Conservative Party, is leading in polls ahead of the next general election. He has criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government, calling them incompetent and discredited. In Parliament, Poilievre has used aggressive language, labeling opposition leaders as "fake" and "fraudulent." His confrontational style has drawn attention, with some supporters praising his authenticity while critics compare him to former U.S. President Donald Trump. At 45, Poilievre's approach marks a shift in Canadian political discourse, focusing on populist themes and a combative stance against the political elite.
