Pierre Poilievre talks like a class warrior, but his policies serve the C-suite. A new book digs into the ideology and elite backing behind his faux-populist, anti-government movement.

The Liberal government has now been around long enough that there is an entire generation that came into voting age under them. They don't know what it's like to live under Conservatives like Harper.

Just like the GOP voters in the US - Many just wanted a change to the status quo and were highly ignorant about what they were voting for and the damage that was coming. A growing demographic that votes GOP are young people that probably weren't even born back during the Bush eras and have no idea what a horror show they were.

That would work as an excuse the first time they voted Trump in but this is the second time they've done so

I wasn't alive to know what it was like living under Hitler, but I wouldn't be stupid enough to vote that in.

There are plenty of articles and videos out there from when Harper was in charge and how fucked up shit was. And the governments before him. There's also contextual information by means of looking at the USA and UK among others.

This is a very accurate statement. Unless you’ve lived through them, you have no idea as to what’s coming.
