Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sure can talk a blue streak about inflation.
Successive Conservative leaders have alienated the party’s traditional Bay Street constituency over the years with their increasingly populist bent. And, of course, his suggestion that cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, offer Canadians a chance to “opt out” of inflation was reckless investment advice.Mr. Poilievre needs a pragmatic plan to generate sustainable growth for the Canadian economy. And like it or not, that includes taking advice from the business community – or as he calls them, the “He would be foolish to squander an obvious opportunity to fill the industrial policy vacuum created by Mr. Trudeau.
If Mr. Poilievre were wise, he would embark on a listening tour of Corporate Canada and advance some of the red-meat business issues that have either stalled or been scrapped under the Liberals’ watch. Similarly, Mr. Poilievre should vow to show federal leadership on dismantling interprovincial trade barriers – a task that was assigned to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland back in 2019.
Mr. Poilievre should also take a page out of former Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney’s playbook and promise to make Canada a signatory to new trade pacts, including the U.S.-led Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity.
Globe going after Pierre is laughable given the grace they have given Trudeau 😂
It's so odd that the media uses populist as an insult. If you believe in democracy (which admittedly I don't) populism is what should rule, to discount it is to say that democracy is a facade maintained by the elites
Katie send a cheque?
'Populist'
This is him being serious.
A populist is a politician who wants to appeal to ordinary people, not elites. That makes Trudeau and Singh populists. Read a book for Pete's sake.
Populist is a bad word to the left. They'd rather have socialism.
LOL Why are you even trying?🙄
2 million followers, 11 likes That’s pathetic
I can’t wait to defund you twits.
TrudeauMustGo
He is! You just won’t publish it! You prefer the socialism of Trudeau! YOUR NEXT!
Another BS propaganda piece from the Globe and Mail.....defund the Globe!
He's a right wing populist clown. That's all he offers.
2/2 his days off,or a PM who preaches environment but then flys everywhere for photo ops&vacations,oh I got maybe it’s that we want a leader to unify&heal a country not divide it to covet votes could go on but I’m not sure that’s populism or just common senses of a taxpayer
So explain this to me Canadians who want to be able to put food on the table,keep a roof over their head r they populists,or is it that we want the missing money in infrastructure&public funds found& an accountable government, or maybe we expect the PM work days to outnumber 1/2
The g&m needs to get serious about actual news! Paid Propaganda clown rag
Where have your comments been along this line for the last 7 yrs? Trudeau is a habitual lier and has been called to the carpet 5 times for violating rules. Your acquiescence and complicity is disgusting. And to think that I have held G&M in the highest regard for decades.
What are the chances that will happen?
Pierre needs honest non bias reporting
When should Trudeau get serious? 7 years long enough? Pierre was working next day while Trudeau continues to promise with no follow through. Les than 0.002% will get any help national dental, gst or rent rebates. Help no one. should get serious ethical journalism
The laughable, angry, rude, David Akin - a true bleeding heart populist himself, for himself.
Didn't think it was possible for any news service to sound worse than CBC then you guys step up and hit a homerun . Pitiful.
Populist antics is skipping around Canada announcing millions in govt spending at every stop. It includes buying the press like the presstitutes at Globe and Mail
He’s dangerous to everyone who isn’t cishet white male. Be quiet about needing to get serious about business please. It’s business that’s paved his path. Globe showing itself.
Over reacting much
The cryptobro at it again. He is not interested in any of what’s ou have to say. He is using the republican platbook on how to create hard in this country. I say let’s hate on cryptobro right back. PierrePoilievre
This guy is a con man, worse than JT lol.
no no, I am fine with it
Ya! Meanwhile Sir Socks McCalculator Has An Important Message for 3rd Graders Canadians need to 'Counter the 'She-Cession' and turn it into a 'She-Covery'.' Aladdin’s 🇨🇦 Banana Republic 🇨🇦 BlackFaceHitler 🇨🇳🧦🌴🍾🤡🎈
What’s the opposite of a populist?
Pierre is the closest to Centre we have in this country. Liberals are competing to absorb the NDP for far left.
Ironic coming from the propaganda arm of the government.
Enough with the partisan activism masquerading as journalism. Garbage like this is why Canadians don't trust main stream media.
OPINION of course. Trudeau was a populist politician for 2015 election. Marijuana and electoral reform. He went after the youth. Guess what Pierre is doing? Going after the youth. Every leader is populist as they go after the vote and concerns that are important at the time.
He doesn't know how. He's got no substance. Just buzz words and weird videos
So the government working for the people is wrong? Okay elitist. G&M keeping propping up the sycophants, you'll continue to lose just like CNN
Tell that to Trudeau too Globe&Mail. 😂
