There’s a general consensus that Pierre Poilievre is the front-runner in the Conservative party leadership race. Whether you’re a Conservative (or conservative) or not, and whether you support Poilievre or not, everything from the size of the crowds at his events, to the traction of his social media messages to opinion polling suggest he’s the man to beat.
Of course, those who don’t support Poilievre are naturally concerned about his apparent momentum. Well, more like upset. Actually, make that hysterical.
Poilievre is running a “hard-right, populist and ideological campaign” wrote Global BC’s Keith Baldrey. “Trump playbook, continued” warned Ottawa lobbyist Rick Anderson on Twitter. Gary Mason at the Globe and Mail may have needed a lie-down after penning an apoplectic piece blaming Poilievre for future travesties by “running one of the most dishonest, contemptible campaigns ever seen in Canada.”
