Pierre Poilievre outlines goals, strategy, key players in Jordan Peterson interview

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre gave a lengthy interview to psychologist and media personality Jordan Peterson, touching on his vision for Canada and how he plans to implement it.

The interview was recorded on Dec. 21, five days after former finance minister and deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from the Liberal cabinet.

Since then, opposition parties like the Conservatives and the NDP have vowed to bring down the government at the earliest opportunity through a vote of no confidence, which would likely trigger a snap election — something Poilievre briefly discussed with Peterson.

Canadian Digital Media Research Network found thousands of social media posts falsely linking the Conservatives to Russian interference after the U.S. indictment of Tenet Media.

Armed with newfound awareness about foreign interference, Canadian social media users have demonstrated a pattern of leaping to conclusions for partisan purposes, according to researchers examining the online response to the recent indictment of two Canadians accused of participating in an alleged Kremlin-backed influence campaign.

In its final report on its study of the Russian government’s alleged funding and influence of Tenet Media, the Canadian Digital Media Research Network (CDMRN)—led by the Media Ecosystem Observatory jointly run by McGill University and the University of Toronto—found that the firm is using the reach and following of its media personalities to align its content with “Russian objectives of sowing distrust and division.“

ABBOTT: Lessons for a Conservative government

The current turmoil inside the Trudeau government makes a future Conservative win even more likely.

Naturally enough, shrewd politician that he is, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre will be taking nothing for granted and will be trying to win every possible vote. Still, after almost a decade of Liberal rule, culminating in a housing crisis, a cost-of-living crunch and a crime wave, a smart opposition would be thinking almost as much about how to govern well as about how to win the coming election.

‘No Male Prisoners in Female Jails’ Will Be Policy if He Becomes PM, Poilievre Says

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is speaking out against Canadian legislation permitting male offenders who identify as female to be incarcerated in women’s prisons, after a man convicted of murdering his family asked to serve his life sentence in a women’s prison.

Mohamad Al Ballouz, who now identifies as a woman and goes by the first name Levana, was handed a sentence of life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years at his Dec. 20 sentencing hearing in Quebec for the 2022 murders of his wife and two young sons.

LILLEY: Poilievre promises to end woke culture in military

CAF Tampon Brigade

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre isn’t just promising to spend more money on Canada’s military, he’s promising to change the culture.

Article content
In an exclusive interview with the Toronto Sun last week, Poilievre said he wants to eradicate the woke culture forced into the Canadian Armed Forces by the Trudeau Liberals.

“We will rebuild our military, and our soldiers will once again, have a warrior culture, not a woke culture,” Poilievre said.

The ‘Trump-lite’ Canadian who plans to take down Justin Trudeau

Pierre Poilievre has gained supporters for his populist rhetoric and Conservative policies — freedom, small government, border control and low taxes

At the WoodSource timber yard outside Manotick, a suburb of Canada’s capital where roaring sawmills churn out lumber, staff and customers long to see the back of Justin Trudeau.

“We’re all feeling it. Something’s got to give — I can’t afford groceries, I can’t afford gas,” said Philip Scott, 27, a warehouse manager who is married with two small children.

Many young and working-class Canadians have long blamed the prime minister for soaring inflation and perceived political chaos.

LILLEY: Yes, thankfully, Poilievre will defund CBC

Pierre Poilievre says you can count on him to defund CBC if he is elected prime minister.

… That doesn’t mean shutting down or selling off CBC, it means telling them they will get $1 billion per year less and they can stand on their own two feet. This promise, though, is just for CBC’s English services, it doesn’t apply to CBC’s French service, Radio Canada. Poilievre said there is a common sense reason for that.

At Poilievre’s Montreal rally, disenchanted Liberals join Conservative loyalists

Yes, longtime Conservative voters joined Pierre Poilievre’s rally in Montreal on Friday. But worryingly for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, so did a growing number of disenchanted former Liberal supporters.

Held at the Mega Centre des Sources in Pointe-Claire, a suburban strip mall, the event of around a couple hundred drew voters looking for change, with cost of living and identity politics firmly on people’s minds.

Pierre Poilievre’s love affair with labour hits a fork in the road

Like teenage infatuation, it burned bright and fizzled quickly, with one party barely aware the love affair had begun. This week, the Conservatives appeared to mark the end of their outward courtship of organized labour.

For a while, it seemed Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was serious about standing up for workers’ rights. He’d picked up the ball from former leader Erin O’Toole, reaching out to blue-collar workers, especially those in private-sector unions, hoping to mimic Ontario Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford’s early success.

He could easily demonstrate his support for all Canadians by announcing a ban on the cheap labour imports granted the shifty-eyed corporate class.

But he won’t.

Bell: Poilievre says Canada is in ‘a very dangerous place’ with Trudeau

Conservative party Leader Pierre Poilievre is not a man known to pull his punches.

So when it comes to the latest obscenity from the theatre of the absurd also known as the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, why would he hold back?

Especially now, when the country needs strong leadership and is left with Trudeau instead.

An interesting thread, you can bet she’ll never be allowed this close to Poilievre again.

Poilievre could receive and make public the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling, former top spy says

OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could potentially receive the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling activities — and reveal that information to the public, a former head of Canada’s spy agency says.

“The (Canadian Intelligence Security Service) can do what it wants or say what it wants, as long as it doesn’t violate a federal statute or the Constitution,” said Richard Fadden, who also served as national security adviser to both prime ministers Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau.

This has devolved into a big circle jerk.

The return of Trump has Poilievre talking about a crackdown beyond the U.S. border

… On Sunday, he called for a crackdown on people coming to Canada – tightening visa requirements to make it harder to visit and setting a cap on the number of asylum-seekers.

For a long time, Mr. Poilievre didn’t go there. His party wanted MPs and candidates to steer clear of anything that suggested tough talk on immigration. It’s only in the last few months that

Mr. Poilievre has ramped up criticism of the Liberal government’s failure to control a surge of temporary residents.
Now, he’s talking about cracking down on “false refugees” and warning “our Canadian jobs are being taken.”


A good start but he better learn how to pronounce the words “mass deportation” because Trudeau has literally allowed millions of illegal alien scammers to remain in Canada.

Agents of the Indian government allegedly attempted to derail Patrick Brown’s campaign for the leadership of the Conservative Party in 2022, according to sources who spoke to Radio-Canada.

Brown’s national campaign co-chair, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner, allegedly was pressured to withdraw her support for Brown in the 2022 Conservative Party of Canada leadership race, confidential sources told Radio-Canada.

Rempel Garner categorically denies the allegation.

Pierre Poilievre is trying to own Justin Trudeau for respecting international law says Blackie’s Star

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.
