QUEBEC CITY—With the stage set similarly to his packed town halls across the country where the speaker is in the middle of the crowd, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre painted a picture of everything that he said is wrong with Canada under the current government and how he can fix it.
“The promise of Canada was that a kid could start anywhere, and get anywhere. Hard work used to get you a powerful paycheque, and every generation was just a little better off than their parents,” Mr. Poilievre told around 3,000 Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) supporters gathered for their party’s national convention at the Centre des congrès de Québec in Quebec City on Sept. 8.
