Probably no other leader, including Justin Trudeau, has landed in a party leadership with less real-world work experience than Pierre Poilievre, says Don Martin in a column for CTVNews.ca. But Poilievre's an able communicator, and this weekend's Conservative convention is a golden opportunity for him to sell himself as PM-in-waiting.

.... doesn't feel your pain, but he's sure good at communicating it

Isn't that always been the conservative platform?

The dumb part is not that the conservatives run on this platform every election cycle

The dumb part is that the country falls for it every time

If you get beaten with a baseball bat every time you walk into that one alley way and you just keep going back there knowing you are going to get beaten again ... who's the dumb person? .. the guy with the baseball bat waiting for people to show up at his alleyway to beat? .. or the guy who keeps going to that alleyway knowing he is going to get beaten every time?

They are falling for it because housing issues have gotten so bad.

The NDP are the only ones that say they will limit immigration and the only ones that are pushing for housing

The Cons just acknowledged there’s a problem but avoid questions that ask if they will do anything about it

I beg to differ! Ford keeps talking about it even when asked about -ahem- different things.

I meant Federally since they are in charge of immigration

Yeah, I figured. I just couldn't resist taking a stab at the latest scandal 🤷
