CityNews Bookshelf: Andrew Lawton (Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life)

If the polls are to be believed - and there are a lot of them - Pierre Poilievre is poised to be Canada’s next prime minister.
As leader of the Conservative Party since 2022, he has quickly become the most formidable of the three Tory leaders to challenge Justin Trudeau for the country’s top elected office.
And while there is little we don’t know about Trudeau by now, the same can’t be said about Poilievre.
Who is he? What motivates him? What kind of prime minister would he be?
The author of a new book - likely the first of many - aims to start that conversation.
Here to talk about “Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life” is journalist and broadcaster Andrew Lawton.
