I'd focus on his link to the Christian right-wing or Christian Nationals in the US who are pushing Project 2025, Trump's manifesto to install a fascist government in the US. For me Poilievre represents a return to the Christian-first, anti-science, pro-oil and gas government of Stephen Harper, his mentor. The separation of church and state is imperative in a democracy. The Alberta-Conservatives, of which he represents, are more American than Canadian in my opinion and do not respect the democratic institutions of Nation. The trucker convoy attack on Ottawa made that clear.
I voted: NoRegistries don't stop corruption. It won't change anything.
Interesting. For me it was his reneging on his promise of Electoral Reform when he couldn’t get his preferred choice of “Ranked Ballot” which isn’t appropriate for elections between political parties. Thats why most countries use some form of Proportional Representation. All in all it was a complete betrayal of the Canadian electorate.
I voted: YesTwo years later NATO needs to do more to support Ukraine's defences. I would like to see NATO create a no-fly zone over Ukraine at a very minimum.
