I can’t say I’m a fan of Justin at all, but Poilievre really does dogwhistle to the extreme conservative idiots of the country. How do they expect to win over some people voting for Liberals and NDP en masse when he’s so polarizing to the point of being Trumpish. He has a cult following with a bunch, no doubt but he isn’t winning anyone over who are on the borderline. Patrick Brown was a good candidate until they shat on his reputation. That party is messed.

Pierre is extreme, but I don't think it is left/right type extreme. It is things like "fire the BoC for not doing their job" or "defund the CBC because they cost over a billion and are mostly just a government propaganda machine as a result", this is the type of extreme I see. He isn't wrong, and it is extreme, Canada is extremely messed up right now. I think PP is concerned about all Canadians, young people who can't find houses, seniors affected by inflation, natives being treated unfairly, immigrants not being able to work in their professions where they are trained, everyday people struggling because of high taxes and inflation. I don't think his agenda is left/right influenced, he just wants to do the job and fix the problems. This appeals to sensible people, and hopefully the left will quit trying to label PP and just give him a chance... If he screws up then you can call him out on it, but I think this left-wing anger and paranoia is a bit premature.
