If Pierre Poilievre is not a true conservative, what is he? Bourrie attempts to pinpoint this and ends up with a blend of nationalism, populism, a hint of racism, and something close to demagogic fascism. This depends on the lie for its success. The bigger the lie the better, and Poilievre is a master of this art. Sometimes well concealed.

Poilievre does nothing positive, has never had a proper job, always criticizes others for what they do while offering no initiatives of his own. He's a political grifter, a fake, who has no idea of how to govern and no interest in doing so. All he knows is how to complain and tell a self-serving lie. It's easy to criticize others but difficult to do better oneself, and his solution has always been not to even try.
