We're not talking about marijuana here we're talking about highly lethal drugs that can stop a person's heart.
In several ways, Poilievre does not fit the mould of a new populist. For one, Poilievre is not new. He was a cabinet minister in the Stephen Harper government and he has been a member of Parliament for almost 20 years. For another, he is not your stereotypical reactionary. He is at ease with the non-traditional family, he is pro-choice, he is pro-immigration.
And Pierre Poilievre, the federal Conservative MP and frontrunner in his party's leadership race, scores huge applause at a weekend barbecue in Calgary, a city where he grew up and was a paperboy for the Calgary Sun.
He was emphatic in an interview with a Punjabi radio show last month: 'The Conservative party is pro-immigration.'
I am pro-immigration. My wife is a refugee to Canada from Venezuela. Canada needs immigration to fulfill its economic success and so our party will put forward a pro-immigration platform in the next election and we will fight for immigrants by pressuring the current government to remove the backlog and increase processing time so we can get families united, refugees safe, and jobs filled here in Canada.
But in a leaked memo obtained by media at the time, Brown was noted as discussing plans to "eliminate the anti-Clark element from the youth wing, most specifically those in leadership positions." Brown denied he had any plans to purge Poilievre
'Justin Trudeau does not have a right to impose his radical gender ideology on our kids and on our schools,' said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre at a rally in Richmond Hill this week.
He was emphatic in an interview with a Punjabi radio show last month: 'The Conservative party is pro-immigration.'

Canada needs immigration to fulfill its economic success and so our party will put forward a pro-immigration platform in the next election and we will fight for immigrants by pressuring the current government to remove the backlog and increase processing time so we can get families united, refugees safe, and jobs filled here in Canada.
Moreover, in a way that distinguishes him from Trump and other right-wing populists, Poilievre's social policies are progressive. He is pro-choice and pro-LGBT rights and has actually criticised the Trudeau ministry for not being pro-immigration enough, belittling the inefficiencies of the current immigration system as yet another example of big government "gatekeeping".
It's in this environment that Poilievre, the perceived frontrunner for the Conservative leadership...
Poilievre said in an interview with CP24, adding that the federal Conservatives needed a 'true conservative' to lead the party.
Bank of Canada says #Bitcoin-ers lack financial literacy. This from the same people who promised we'd have 'deflation' right before inflation hit a 30 year high. It is our central bank that is financially illiterate. Restore sound money.
Rayes said he thinks Charest would be the candidate representing the party's more progressive but economically conservative wing, capable of rallying the 'Blue Liberals,' a term in political jargon referring to liberals who tend to be fiscally more right-wing but socially progressive. Conversely, he described Poilievre as a libertarian politician and 'a bit more sensationalist.'
Poilievre says he would introduce plans in Saskatchewan to incentivize carbon-reducing technology that would help fight climate change.
Carbon capture and 'green energy': We're going to go with technology instead of taxes. Instead of forcing our provinces to impose a tax on their citizens, we're going to incentivize them to enable more environmentally friendly technology, like carbon capture and storage. … We're going to export our clean, green energy to the world.
His rhetorical style evokes populists such as Donald Trump. But his enemies list is more circumscribed. Unlike Mr Trump, he favours immigration.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pledged Thursday to repeal the online streaming bill if he wins the next federal election, calling it a "censorship" law that will curb freedom of expression on the internet.
Also on the candidate's chopping block is the federal Liberal's Bill C-11, a new version of the controversial Bill C-10 that died on the order paper after the last federal election was called.
Poilievre's stump speech also references a forthcoming Liberal bill that will attempt to combat online hate. Rodriguez hasn't yet tabled the legislation, which is also a redo after the government's last attempt spawned serious concerns about "unintended consequences" for freedom of speech in Canada.
The "Trump North" label has failed to stick because he has been consistently pro-choice, supports gay marriage and favours immigration.
In one of many thorny exhcanges, Poilievre shot back in both official languages that he's "pro-choix" and "pro-choice."
il déclare qu'un éventuel gouvernement conservateur qu'il dirigerait ne présenterait jamais un projet de loi sur cet enjeu. Mais il irait plus loin en s'assurant qu'aucun projet de moi, même privé, ne soit adopté non plus. [he declares that a possible conservative government that he would lead would never present a bill on this issue. But he would go further by making sure that no project of mine, even private, was adopted either].
J'ai voté contre il y a 15 ans. Mais j'ai beaucoup appris, comme des millions et des millions de gens partout au Canada et à travers le monde. Je constate que le mariage gai est un succès. L'institution du mariage doit être ouverte à tous les citoyens, peu importe leur orientation sexuelle. [I voted against it 15 years ago. But I learned a lot, like millions and millions of people across Canada and around the world. I see that gay marriage is a success. The institution of marriage must be open to all citizens, regardless of their sexual orientation].
Enfin, le chef de l'opposition officielle à Ottawa s'est engagé à réduire la bureaucratie et la « paperasserie » imposées aux entreprises afin de les rendre plus productives, notamment dans les secteurs minier et hydroélectrique, pour planifier la transition écologique.

But when it comes to the federal government's decision to decriminalize possessing small amounts of "hard drugs," their opposition — and their hypocrisy — has been much more audible.
Decriminalizing deadly drug use is the opposite of compassionate," he tweeted. "Those struggling with addiction need treatment & recovery. Drug dealers need strong policing & tough sentences.
His pay-as-you-go approach to budgeting used in the Clinton and Obama years would help keep the lid on spending and deficits.
'we should be mining lithium, cobalt, nickel and other minerals necessary for electrification — but do it right here in Canada, of course.'
We're pretty similar politically," said Poilievre, "libertarian-minded and pretty much in line with the leader.
As a teenager, he worked in corporate collections at Telus, calling businesses that hadn't paid their bills and helping them develop payment plans.
He made a brief foray into journalism, writing the 'Who's Suing Whom' column for Alberta Report, a now-defunct conservative weekly magazine.
We will greenlight mining and manufacturing of minerals like lithium, cobalt and copper to make our electric cars and batteries.
He has been compared to former President Donald Trump for his populist overtures, but in terms of substance, he has largely confined himself to pocketbook issues. He is pro-immigration — his wife is a Venezuelan immigrant — and now calls himself pro-choice.

Mon père qui a des origines canadiennes-françaises et qui vient d'un village fransaskois m'a transmis l'importance de préserver le français dès mon plus jeune âge. [My father, who has French-Canadian origins and comes from a Fransaskois village, taught me the importance of preserving French from an early age].
But he is no Donald Trump in tenets or temperament. He doesn't echo the anti-immigrant rhetoric, and abhors Mr. Trump's gargantuan deficits. He is so calculated that he could never be the erratic bundle of impulses that rambles at a Trump rally.
'We must permit Quebec to build more hydroelectric dams to provide the electricity that will be needed to power electric cars,' the person calling himself Pierre Poilievre said. 'The future of our green economy depends on [critical] minerals and green electricity.'
In 2020, he adopted the position, as Mr. Harper had before him, that he would not lead a government that legislated on abortion. This year, he said he is pro-choice.
Longtime MP Pierre Poilievre stated that a government led by him wouldn't pass or introduce legislation restricting access to abortion.
During a news conference on Parliament Hill, the federal Conservative Leader answered "yes" when asked by a journalist to confirm, in the context of Alberta's proposed policy, that he was against the use of puberty blockers for people under 18.
Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says transgender women should not be allowed in women's change rooms and public washrooms, but as prime minister he would not have the reach to introduce legislation implementing such a ban.

Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday that, as prime minister, he would introduce a "Free Speech Act" that would repeal Bill C-11, known as the Online Streaming Act, eliminate the proposed "digital safety commissioner" position created under the act and leave it to law enforcement to enforce the criminal code online.
And second, what parts of his program—which, to be fair to him, he is pro-immigration, pro-same-sex marriage, and pro-choice—do you take exception to?
As for Poilievre's obsession with 'freedom,' it's not entirely clear what he intends to free Canadians from or how he would transport them to his libertarian Utopia.
All political stripes have housing villains, which typically fit our pre-set views on the world. Poilievre as a libertarian, so government is the villain.

His pay-as-you-go approach to budgeting used in the Clinton and Obama years would help keep the lid on spending and deficits.
Poilievre pointed out that US Congress also imposed a Pay-As-You-Go Law on the deficit-prone United States Federal Government in 1990, which remained in place throughout the Clinton administration. Within a few years of its introduction, America's deficit was gone and the country had its first balanced budget since 1969.
