In this special, extended-cut video edition of the Full Comment podcast, guest host Rex Murphy sits down with federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for a year-end discussion after a very wild 2023 in politics.
Poilievre has undoubtedly been the political star of the year. Over the last 12 months, the federal Conservative leader has pulled off a dramatic lead in the polls, while the popularity of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals has crashed brutally. Now it looks like Poilievre could well be on his way to becoming prime minister.
Rex talks to Poilievre about why the Conservative leader thinks he’s seen such a strong performance this year, why he thinks so many Canadians have turned against Trudeau, and why Jagmeet Singh’s NDP could be just as vulnerable to the big political shifts that are underway.
Poilievre also tells Rex what he plans to do if he’s elected — to drastically change Canada’s climate policies, clean up crime, and crack down on support for terrorists.
The 40-minute video of their discussion, released on Tuesday, is available here.
