Poillevre knows that if he doesn't do shit like this, the rank-and-file CPC members will dump him for someone with stronger Nazi bona fides.

The problem is that, if he wants to be elected, what will get him an easy majority is just not not being Nazi. Chong or Charest could have beaten Trudeau handily.

This is the problem with courting the Nazi vote: it results in your path to power being Nazification of the rest of the electorate, and your PR ends up being low-brow Triumph of the Will, while your election sloganeering is dogwhistling. Personally, I hope he gets sent packing again and the CPC splits in two.
