Pierre Poilievre, the 45-year-old leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, is gaining traction as a potential Prime Minister following Justin Trudeau’s announcement to step down. Poilievre’s low-tax, small government vision resonates with many Canadians frustrated by economic issues. Though he has faced criticism for his outspoken style, he appeals directly to the populace, positioning himself as a populist alternative to Trudeau’s progressive politics. With increasing support and a promise of ‘common sense politics,’ Poilievre is on the verge of a significant political breakthrough.
