Over 20 years as an elected politician Pierre Poilievre has perfected the fine art of grievance mining. He’s a master of effectively delivering the pointy end of a talking point. He relentlessly grinds out angry YouTube videos, juices social media algorithms, and provokes rage on X. But none of his ‘rage farming’ does a thing to help people.

No matter how much Poilievre cosplays as a regular working stiff and claims to have workers’ backs, that’s not what he does. Remember how Poilievre sat in cabinet and defended every Conservative cut to EI or other supports workers and families relied on. Even today, he continues to oppose free dental care for low-income families.
