Poilievre’s miscues won’t save Trudeau

Now I’m not arguing Justin Trudeau can’t make a comeback. It’d be difficult, but doable. But for him to succeed, he can’t just rely on Pierre Poilievre to fail.

Poilievre’s cheap shot at CP journalist has not gone unnoticed

By buzzwords and dog whistles, as the Trudeau government contends, Pierre Poilievre is doing his best to create a sense of grievance so powerful that the Liberals will be swept from office like dry leaves in a windstorm. It may not be policy or even credible, but it appears to be working.

This just in: is Poilievre charismatic?

I’m not saying ‘Pierremania’ will sweep Canada the way ‘Trudeaumania’ did in the 1960s or the way ‘Justinmania’ did in 2015. But no one will ever call Pierre Poilievre dull.
