Probably no other leader, including Justin Trudeau, has landed in a party leadership with less real-world work experience than Pierre Poilievre, says Don Martin in a column for CTVNews.ca. But Poilievre's an able communicator, and this weekend's Conservative convention is a golden opportunity for him to sell himself as PM-in-waiting.

    Hes’ a hypocrite of the highest order; a career politician that he ranted should not entrench themselves in our institutions in his early twenties before becoming an MP himself in his mid-twenties. He welcomed the Convey into Ottawa by handing out Coffee and Donuts. He recommends putting your money into Bitcoin, and those that followed his advice saw savings disappear when the coin crashed. He rails against the CBC being government funded while he himself, is largely government supported: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJpchk3s4hU

    The joke goes that you tell a politician is lying because they are moving their lips. If you want to know the truth, just pay attention to who donates. We made fun of Scheer for being in the pocket of ‘big milk’ and this feckless twit is receiving donations from real estate executives while claiming he’s going to reverse course on our housing crisis: https://pressprogress.ca/big-real-estate-executives-among-top-donors-to-pierre-poilievres-conservatives/

    A vote for the CPC is a vote for a party lead by someone that doesn’t care about the people voting for him and will make years of poor decisions.
