The jarring echo in a recent Pierre Poilievre speech
in much the same way Mr. Cuomo did with Ronald Reagan 38 years earlier. In fact, in at least one instance, the echo was jarring.
It’s difficult to imagine whoever wrote Mr. Poilievre’s speech didn’t take some inspiration – and even direct words – from Mr. Cuomo’s 1984 address. One could argue, in fact, that the entire theme of the federal Conservative Leader’s address to his caucus was strikingly similar to Mr. Cuomo’s. , Mr. Poilievre encounters a 60-something-year-old man at his local grocery store. He was a cook who approached him “with tears in his eyes to tell me he has to delay his retirement, but you know the thing that really broke him? That he can no longer afford the very ingredients to cook at home that he works with in his job.”I don’t know about you, but I’d love to talk to this cook. And Mustafa too.
I should say that it is not only Mr. Poilievre who does this. Other politicians, of all political persuasions, have used “a person they’ve run into” harbouring deep resentment toward those currently in power as political weapons. And he’s not the first politician to borrow content from elsewhere in composing a speech.
