Poilievre is a bit of a kook himself, let's be real. That's why he got elected as leader and booted O'Toole who tried to run center. He's a smart kook though, and it's time to avoid associating with social right issues like the plague. As much as Poilievre wants this election to be the carbon tax, it's clear the next election will now be about nationalism, and protecting Canada from Trump. Message has to shift in kind.
