Beware Pierre Poilievre’s “Common Sense” Revolution

During his marathon keynote, Poilievre mentioned common sense several times. The speech stretched so long it would have made Fidel Castro proud, so there was plenty of time to pontificate on the virtues of common sense, without filling in too many details, of course.
Contrasting the Conservative and Liberal parties, the blue-side leader noted he offered “A common-sense Conservative government that frees hardworking people to earn powerful paycheques that buy affordable food, gas and homes — in safe neighbourhoods.”
Later, Poilievre touted his “common sense” plan that “cuts waste and caps spending to bring down inflationary deficits and interest rates.” What was that again? What kind of plan? In case you’d forgotten, he returned to the chorus, adding “My common-sense plan is to have a new funding formula that links the number of federal dollars cities get for infrastructure to the number of houses they allow to be completed.”
The night before Poilievre’s speech, retired Canadian Forces members Michel and Barbara Maisonneuve did the Conservative leader’s dirty work for him in their speech to delegates, hammering on the “anti-woke” agenda that the brass seem to think the made-over Poilievre should leave to others. The Maisonneuves, when not frothing at the mouth while denouncing “wokeness,” were citing Poilievre’s common sense plans. |Read more https://www.davidmoscrop.com/p/beware-pierre-poilievres-common-sense|
