Poilievre flirts with far right while media looks away

Poilievre flirts with far right while media looks away

"SNIP...........

By Linda McQuaigContributing Columnist

A dozen years ago, Pierre Poilievre was a relatively obscure political figure who was mostly regarded — to the extent he was regarded at all — as a fiercely anti-labour guy on the far-right of the Harper cabinet.

But there he was in Parliament last February, voting in favour of pro-labour legislation banning scabs in federal workplaces.

Has he fundamentally changed his thinking — or was that simply part of his new, air-brushed “friend of the working man” look?P

Surely, there should be a lot more media scrutiny of this mysterious individual who, after shedding his glasses and adopting a hipper look, has managed to reinvent himself on the public stage.

spotted by a military search light'. He is obviously going for People's Party of Canada voter. No matter how creepy they may be, they have a friend and home with Pierre.

Their real concerns are selfish, seeking personal power and wealth for themselves without any regards for the consequences to anyone else, especially innocent people.

And yeah, his nickname over here is skinny Trump
