Poilievre riding anti-Trudeau tide

There is an impetuous push to see the back end of the man who has led the country for eight—often turbulent—years, including through the pandemic. And thanks partly to the magic of his $3-million makeover, Pierre Poilievre is seen as the perfect foil to the dithering Prince of the Establishment.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is riding an anti-Trudeau tide that may well lead to political fortune, writes Michael Harris. The Hill Times photographs by Sam Garcia and Andrew Meade
