What the Toronto Sun, a notoriously right-wing tabloid, had to say about Pierre Poilievre when Steven Harper made him Minister of Democratic Institutions in 2013.
This week, Pierre Poilievre said he would roll back Charter Rights to implement the policies they want.
Just like in the US, Conservatives want to take away women's access to reproductive healthcare. We can't let what happened to Roe v. Wade happen in Canada.

I guarantee you that this was not planned and every decision from PP's approach to

's decision to pull everyone out of the chamber was decided on emotion had no calculated thought put into it. Objectively, it was a bad move.

We’re going to get a whole news cycle of pundits speculating what the strategy behind this behaviour is.
People should consider the possibility there is no real strategy and the thought of holding power is already going to Poilievre’s head.
He emboldens extremists while courting their vote. Political opportunism at all costs, no matter how dangerous the consequences may be. That’s Pierre Poilievre!
He is a repugnant, power hungry, little man who when called out, pulls a temper tantrum and runs away.

If you’re still trying to figure out what happened yesterday when Pierre Poilievre got kicked out of the House of Commons, Rachel Gilmore sums it up quite well.

Pierre Poilievre just got kicked out of the House of Commons for calling the prime minister a “whacko.”
While this is all incredibly stupid, the surrounding context is actually very serious.
Here’s why.
Pierre pretends he’s being silenced, when the only thing he’s silent on is denouncing white supremacy. Now, instead of debating our Budget, he’d rather disrespect our institutions, have a temper tantrum, & get himself kicked out of the House.
Pierre doesn’t care about Canadians.
Tonight, the National Council for Reconciliation Act received Royal Assent! I waved to the members of the transitional committee as I voted yesterday. It’s thanks to their tireless effort, advice and guidance, that the new Council will hold Canada to the path of reconciliation.
Pierre Poilievre is fully prepared to dismantle Canada’s constitution for his own agenda. This is profoundly dangerous. If you are progressive or moderate, please consider carefully how you vote. The future of Canada is in danger.
