Pierre Poilievre - Is That All You've Got?

Transcript

Has Pierre Poilievre learned ANYTHING from his unemployment? In recent news, Poilievre is still fighting ghosts and slinging mud against Prime Minister Mark Carney, but most Canadians aren’t buying into his petulant style of politics. Poilievre’s lukewarm reception at the Calgary Stampede says a lot—and so do his lowbrow attacks on Mark Carney’s ethics, which seem more about personal political gain than in the spirit of Canadians’ best interests. In Episode 177, Bill breaks down why Poilievre’s lack of growth and divisive smear tactics could threaten his political future—and why Canadians deserve leadership that puts the country first.
