"Under Pierre Poilievre, the Conservatives have embraced conspiracy theories, mis-information, cruel policies, and MAGA-style politics. I am gravely concerned about the harm to Canadians that a Poilievre government would bring." Benjamin Perrin Law Professor, Former Conservative Former legal counsel to Stephen Harper April 14, 2025

I am also gravely concerned about the harm to Canadians that a Poilievre government would bring.

Worth getting now and reading

Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre Paperback – March 25 2025 by Mark Bourrie (Author) As Canada heads towards a pivotal election, bestselling author Mark Bourrie charts the rise of Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre and considers the history and potential cost of the politics of division. Six weeks into the Covid pandemic, New York Times columnist David Brooks identified two types of Western politicians: rippers and weavers. Rippers, whether on the right or the left, see politics as war. They don’t care about the destruction that’s caused as they fight for power. Weavers are their opposite: people who try to fix things, who want to bring people together and try to build consensus. At the beginning of the pandemic, weavers seemed to be winning. Five years later, as Canada heads towards a pivotal election, that’s no longer the case. Across the border, a ripper is remaking the American government. And for the first time in its history, Canada has its own ripper poised to assume power. Pierre Poilievre has enjoyed most of the advantages of the mainstream Canadian middle class. Yet he’s long been the angriest man on the political stage. In Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre, bestselling author Mark Bourrie, winner of the Charles Taylor Prize, charts Poilievre’s rise through the political system, from teenage volunteer to outspoken Opposition leader known for cutting soundbites and theatrics. Bourrie shows how we arrived at this divisive moment in our history, one in which rippers are poised to capitalize on conflict. He shows how Poilievre and this new style of politics have gained so much ground—and warns of what it will cost us if they succeed.

"Former political journalist Mark Bourrie’s new book, Ripper, is a bracing reminder of some of the reputations Poilievre has ruined, the malicious fictions he has promoted, [and] the tiresome slogans he stitches into every utterance." —Susan Riley, The Hill Times "[Mark Bourrie's] latest book Ripper isn't just a biography—it's a field guide to fascism wrapped in a Canadian flag soaked in Axe body spray." —Dean Blundell "In a scathing but comprehensive recent biography, Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre, the historian Mark Bourrie points out that his [Poilievre's] thinking on most subjects has not advanced much since adolescence." —Michael Ledger-Lomas, UnHerd

From Amazon Reviews: …… one of the angriest voices in Parliament, he has mastered the art of modern political messaging. In 2024 alone, he posted over 3,000 YouTube videos and amassed more than half a million followers. His team has even traveled to the United States to study and adopt the political tactics of Donald Trump. His strength lies in the “short, sharp soundbite”—a tool that has so far proved difficult for opponents to counter effectively. This challenge is not unique to Canada. Across the world, mainstream politicians continue to struggle in their efforts to combat the misinformation, disinformation, and emotional appeals that fuel populist movements. One of the most revealing sections of the book focuses on the WE Charity scandal. Poilievre’s relentless campaign against Marc and Craig Kielburger, despite mounting evidence of their innocence, illustrates his willingness to sacrifice truth—and the good work of a respected youth-focused organization—for political gain.

Mark Bourrie, a Conservative, wrote "Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre" [I won't post the book cover as it has #PP's face on it].

Important reading before April 28th, and share with those who don't realize what /who #PP is. (paste a more palatable photo over the covers)

Please complain to the Leader's Debate Commisdion regarding the inclusion of Rebel Media & True North orgs dominating the post debate press conference.

Here is their email address:
info@debates-debats.ca

IMO, this decision to elevate these far-right propaganda orgs is unforgiveable

Every vote counts

Need to get the vote out
Since cons have a Strong ground game

PP is dangerous for canada

#StephenHarper and #VictorOrban are the embodiments of authoritarianism, hate, and violence.
#Poilievre idolizes Harper.
#PierrePoilievre is not fit to be #Canada ‘s #PrimeMinister.
#cdnpoli

IDU bastards also include Pierre poilievre

Pierre IS dangerous and not the choice for PM

#MarkCarney2025

Poilievre is just like Trump.

Robert Fife, Paul wells, Martin Patriquin & Emilie Nicolas all called him out Mar 25&26 on CBCNN power and politics. It was excellent to watch

He is

Pierre Poilievre says he doesn't have a security clearance because it will gag him.
What's the difference? He doesn't talk to the media anyways.
He gagged himself.
It just makes me gag! #cdnpoli

Poilivere attracts extremists

What about you #alexruff

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

Trump is causing more economic chaos than Covid did.
