Quite a unique background... From Wikipedia

“Background and childhood

Poilievre was born on June 3, 1979,[5] in Calgary, Alberta, to 16-year-old high school student Jacqueline Farrell, whose mother had recently died.[3][6][7] Farrell, who is of Irish-Canadian paternal descent, had planned to name him Jeff – a name he is still occasionally referred to by during adulthood – had she not placed him for adoption.[6][8][9] He was adopted by two schoolteachers, Marlene and Donald Poilievre (who is Fransaskois)[10] shortly after being born.[3][11] The couple later also adopted his younger, biological half-brother Patrick.[8] The boys were raised in a modest household in suburban Calgary, playing ice hockey and going on camping trips.[9] Pierre was raised as a Catholic.[12]

Growing up, Poilievre worked as a paperboy for the Calgary Sun.[13] He attended Henry Wise Wood High School,[14] and was on a wrestling team until he was forced to stop due to a temporary shoulder tendinitis injury, at the age of 14. Following the injury, Poilievre attended an Alberta Tory riding-association meeting as a new hobby.[9] As a result, he became interested in politics and started reading political books, including Milton Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom, a book that greatly influenced his politics.[9]

Poilievre became active in the Reform Party and the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta by participating in meetings of both parties.[9][15] At the age of 16, Poilievre sold Reform Party memberships for Jason Kenney and also did telephone canvassing for him.[16] He also knocked on doors for political campaigns and served on a riding association. Shortly after turning 17 years old, he was a delegate to the Reform Party 1996 national convention in Vancouver, British Columbia. Poilievre graduated from Henry Wise Wood High School in 1997.[17]

Poilievre’s adoptive parents, who had married in 1971, separated when he was in his mid-teens. His father, Donald, later came out as a gay man.[9] In his early twenties, Poilievre eventually met both his biological mother, a nurse in North Carolina, and his maternal grandfather for the first time.[6][7]”

Pierre Polievre is a very bright, common sense individual.

On the other hand, Castreau is a brain dead, conniving, lying, authoritarian, commie- fascist, spoiled, son of a multi-millionaire, commie-fascist, and a drug addled, sex addicted brain dead aging hippie. The (rotten) apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

Unfortunately, Castreau is likely to remain Crime Minister until at least March 24.
