Speaking in Vancouver Thursday, Pierre Poilievre claimed he was asked multiple times by the WestJet cabin crew to speak and the union should be the one apologizing.
It’s utterly insane how all it takes to get somebody to vote against their self-interests is to rile them up and tell them what they want to hear. Poilievre’s program has literally nothing to offer to your average middle-class Joe. Literally nothing. His whole platform is populist BS and your usual rich-get-richer conservative policies.
Your average blue collar worker is the high school jock/bully that never amounted to anything else in life. They just want to be told it’s ok to call people gay slurs, hate anything to do with trans people, and look funny at anyone whose skin color is different than their own even if they deny that in public.
Oh and any conflict should be resolved with violence of course
