Ep. 518: Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life
Guest: Andrew Lawton, True North
“When Pierre Pollievre was elected leader of Canada’s Conservative party in 2022, he vowed to put Canadians back in control of their lives,” says Andrew Lawton, author of “Pierre Pollievre, A Political Life.”
Lawton goes on to say, “He took aim at the country’s elites and ‘gatekeepers,’ as well as governments that sneer at their own citizens.”
The book takes the reader throughout Pollievre’s life from adoption, his adopted father declaring his homosexuality, his fascination with politics from his teen years, and his brazen and forthright commitment to conservative policies.
Lawton says, “This book showcases Pollievre’s unique brand of conservatism which is galvanizing supporters and detractors alike. What emerges is a portrait of a radically authentic individual who has been plotting to be Canada’s prime minister since he was a teenager.”
We invited Andrew Lawton to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the man who wants to run Canada.
