OTTAWA — For the second year in a row, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been chosen as The Canadian Press Newsmaker of the Year.
Running miles ahead of his opponents in the polls throughout the year, Poilievre has cemented his position as Canada’s prime minister-in-waiting. "Pierre Poilievre continues to frame the conversation in Ottawa, with Justin Trudeau switching policies trying to catch up," said Rob Roberts, editor-in-chief of the National Post.The party even poached a crown-jewel seat from Liberal fortress Toronto in the Toronto—St. Paul’s byelection in June. The vote was called to replace former cabinet minister Carolyn Bennett, whom Trudeau awarded a plum diplomatic posting.
Seemingly every week, Poilievre found new ways to get under the government’s skin in Parliament. In April, House Speaker Greg Fergus ejected Poilievre from the House for using unparliamentary language when he called Trudeau a"wacko prime minister," then refused to take it back.
