Canadian Conservatives elect working-class champion Pierre Poilievre to topple Trudeau

After campaigning to stop the "have-yachts" from continuing to take advantage of the "have-nots," to combat "wokeism," and to counter "Justin-flation," the Alberta-born Pierre Poilievre was elected leader of the Conservative Party of Canada on September 10.

In Canada's equivalent of a primary election, the 43-year-old won in a landslide, taking 70.7% of over 400,000 votes (or 68.15% of the points). The former Liberal premier of Quebec, Jean Charest ⁠— who had aligned himself with the status quo that Poilievre means to disrupt ⁠— came in a distant second with 16.07%.

As leader of the official opposition party, Poilievre will now go toe to toe with the increasingly unpopular Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and potentially replace him in the next federal election.

In his victory speech, the married father of two reiterated his commitment to helping Canadians regain control over their finances, their lives, and their country. "Tonight begins the journey to replace an old government that costs you more and delivers you less with a new government that puts you first," he said. ...............

That's right  :beer:

I'd have been just as excited if Saskatchewan stepped up.
But an Albertan suits me fine.

A conservative in Canada?  Just can't be.  I thought they exterminated all their conservatives.
