Who is Pierre Poilievre? | The Big Story Podcast

He's the heavy favourite to be the next leader of the federal Conservatives. He's a relentless attack dog that loves a good partisan brawl. He's angry. Especially at Justin Trudeau. Just ask him.
But that's not all there is to the man. Under the public persona is something else.
The question is why it's mostly kept buried, and if Poilievre thinks it's better to keep it that way?

In the piece, they said that he is speaking to the base, but won’t attract new voters. I couldn’t disagree more. Pierre is social media savy and speaks to a younger generation that wants opportunity and fundamentally rejects wokist ideology. I was a liberal not long ago, and yet I bought my CPC membership just last week. If I can change, so too can others. Besides, with the mess Trudeau is making of this country, this is Pierre’s race to loose.

Attack dog? Heck no! Churchillian!! He was brilliant. I know he will make a GREAT PRIME MINISTER. I also think of the gigantic chore that awaits our next PM, who really should be Pierre, and look upon the coming challenges he'll face as though comparable though different to the ruin brought down on Ukraine. How to begin rebuilding and recover an entire country!? It will be a heavy job and we must do our best, in whatever way we can even if only with patience supporting his government's efforts.

Pierre is so smart that he is able to debate with intelligent people and also relate to regular Canadians. He explains economics and policy with an ease that allows people to understand.

well I think the answer is the media repeatedly plays him as an attack dog, when all I see is an intelligent articulate man who has a better understanding of economics than anyone else in the house. The media simply refuses to ever address his substantive points because he is also the only person in the house with a sense of humour and wit and likes to flex his debate skills and rhetoric.

The majority of regular people just want to live their lives with as little interference from big gov as possible.

Well. He is an attack dog. Out of all members of the conservative caucus he is the most aggressive one to talk/debate to in the commons.

Thank goodness there is at least one politician who is not frightened about taking on the Liberal gun control nonsense which shouldn't even be a talking point. The first person who has come along with some down to earth common sense.

[@michaelsuddard2998]

Seeing as Pierre intends on listening to the majority of Canadians regarding the defunding of Canadian news media I dont expect any of them to give him a fair shot.

[@3tolove]

I like the energy and passion he brings in Canadian politics, he is smart and he speaks his mind. I don't really follow Canadian politics ,but when Mr Poilievre speaks he automatically capture your attention,he has that gift given by God to know how to speaks fluently with intelligence.

[@DuncanCampbell69]

I also joined so I could vote for Pierre. Finally a politician I can respect. Election after election we keep hearing Liberal promises that they don't follow through on. Canadians deserve better. We are generally a peaceful easy going Country although now we are seeing a shift Canadians are tired of being ignored by our Government. We want better government.

[@IceFromTheSun]

I think the reporter was nitpicking at this point, Pierre is the most interesting candidate for PM

[@ThatGuy-bz2in]

I mean "interesting" in the sense that he is a troll who has never had a real job. I mean sure troll's can be amusing, but that doesn't make for a good prime minister.

[@mantistobogganmd6580]

As opposed to a former snow boarding instructor and teacher who was dismissed from his teaching position for undisclosed reasons?

Pierre is a hard worker; he's always prepared. As pm, he will work hard for Canadians . Same beliefs in the past 20yrs, Pretty solid guy!

[@ThatGuy-bz2in]

He's been nothing but an attack dog and a troll for 20 years. I mean, the conservatives went on and on about Justin "not being ready" because he had only been a teacher before becoming a politician. This guy has literally never done anything but be a politician. Where is that insistence on experience now?

Pierre’s “talking points” are not unsatisfactory. It’s exactly what we want. As someone who is sick and tired of a big government getting bigger and constantly poking their nose where it doesn’t belong, all we want is to be left alone so we can go to work and love on our families without being distracted by a pesky annoying government. This lady’s politics are quite obvious even though she does a fairly good job of appearing neutral. It’s obvious she loves government control and thinks the rest of us do too

[@toolegit2quit173]

Or, we could just run in our ridings as our own Conservative MPP, could we not? If your local conservative MPP sucks, can’t someone else replace them in that role? I’m a bit of a newbie to politics, so forgive my ignorance.

[@lesliewoods7774]

@lapi0040 We all need to take a more active role in creating direction and supporting Pierre instead of standing by and "waiting" to see if he makes it to leader. We DO have influence and need to take action now. Buy a membership for $15 and VOTE. THIS is how we shape the direction and future of our country.

[@tupperland]

@@lesliewoods7774 As Pierre said the other night at his Meet & Greet here in Gatineau....."When it comes to politics, if you're not at the table.....you are on the menu!" We can all do something as little as buying a membership for $15 so we can vote Pierre for leader, we can share any post about Pierre on our facebook page, we can offer to volunteer for the elections or we can just speak about Pierre to all our friends and family. If we all do at least one of these things.....amazing things will happen!

Pierre is in touch with the people and has the background to prove it unlike Trudeau. He shows he is willing to fight for the people's dignity with his skills in parliament.

When will you msm learn that we are not interested in YOUR opinion. When Pierre answers your question as to what he means by "the freest country" we don't want to hear what YOU THINK he means by that after he just told you what he means by this comment. You msm journalist (loosely used term) have to learn to be bias and just report the facts. Re-educate yourself what integrity is.

The point that she seems to be missing is he has been relatively the same man with the same conviction for over twenty years. Not sure how that escaped her.

It seems to me that Pierre doesn’t see himself as an attack dog, and it does annoy him that others label and brand him as that. I don’t think he planned that either I believe that happened sort of naturally and generically. He felt and feels strong powerful, passionate ways about things and he has the education and deep profound knowledge, understanding, awareness, and intelligence to know how to express it and articulate it into a laser focused thought of expression. Which is exactly why Pierre will make an amazing PM

[@adamrhea2339]

These two interviewers were trying so desparately to find something to grasp as for his motive. Growing during that time in Calgary and what Alberta went through it is simple to understand that his pure goal is to simply make life better for Canadians. He is motivated by the meaning it gives someone who has gone through the adversity like Albertans did in the 80s to make sure that no one else ever experiences that ever again. There is no motive. He is running because HE CARES about the people. He cares about making a difference and you see that especially when he talks in person. It's because believes so much in what he's doing.
