Opinion Althia Raj: Liberals are painting Pierre Poilievre as the next Donald Trump. That’s a risky Strategy
— because he’d been a camp counsellor, a rafting instructor and a drama teacher.
Poilievre, she said, “stood shoulder to shoulder and gave a platform to conspiracy theorists” to get elected, and after he won, Canadians got more of the same. “Every election is a new election. It’s a new narrative. It’s a new choice. What we know is that Poilievre has imported, in Canada, the MAGA extremist, you know, rhetoric,” she said. “When you watch [controversial Florida Republican Governor] Ron DeSantis in speeches or [former U.S. President] Trump you see the same type of vocabulary that is used by Poilievre.”
On stage Friday, Hillary Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state, New York senator, and Democratic presidential nominee who lost to Trump, echoed these themes, warning delegates that a lot of democracies are being undermined by forces largely on the political right who deny minority rights and dismiss a free press. “You just have to be highly alert to this, do not dismiss it.”
The Liberal leader suggested Poilievre and his “brokenness Conservative party” would be unable to help Canadians get better access to a family doctor, or help young people buy their first home. “Pierre Poilievre’s populism, his slogans and buzzwords are not serious solutions to the serious challenges we’re facing,” he said.
