On the eve of his first policy convention as Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre reminded Canadians that he is not bound by the policy ideas the grassroots membership chooses to advance.
Conservatives are gathering in Quebec City beginning Thursday for a convention to talk about what they can do to win the next federal election and debate more than two dozen policy ideas found in resolutions put forward by party members.
Another policy proposal getting attention ahead of the convention suggests that a Conservative government prohibit "life-altering medicinal or surgical interventions" related to gender for anyone under 18 years old. That support currently comes from the New Democrats, who agreed to support the Liberals through key votes in the House of Commons until 2025 in exchange for action on top priorities outlined in a confidence-and-supply agreement last year.
"Almost everything the CBC does can be done in the marketplace these days because of technology," he told host Andrew Lawton at the time. "I would preserve a small amount for French-language minorities, linguistic minorities, because they, frankly, will not get news services provided by the market." The Bloc Quebecois has attacked Poilievre for promising to defund the CBC, accusing him of planning an assault on the culture and language of Quebec.
