In groundbreaking move, Poilievre campaigns among evangelical Christians (Canada)

Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre went to church last Sunday, not once, not twice, but three times — to three evangelical churches in the Toronto area where he briefly participated in the services, made a short political speech and moved on.

The three churches are all in ridings held by Liberal MPs and the congregants are mostly members of ethnic minority communities, which makes these visits smart politics for a campaigning Conservative leader.

But observers say these visits are also groundbreakers if only because leaders of mainstream Canadian political parties have long avoided public events with evangelical Christians for fear those appearances might become a political liability.

In Western Europe and Canada, they don't like Christians if not hate them. They let in millions of Muslims in the West. Bad situation, to put it mildly.

You can’t win in Canada by being a staunch Evangelical. The best you can do is not be oppositional to the liberal agenda.

He’s worlds better than the metrosexual third-world importing “son” of the humanoid responsible for the complete alteration of this nation from the envy of the world to a craphole.

There's a video floating around of Poilievre talking to some douchebag hack reporter who's trying to nail him with is critics' complaints ..."People say that ..." blah blah. Poilievre keeps asking him, "Who said that? Who?" over and over and the tool journalist cannot answer.

Look it up. It's at an apple orchard in Canada somewhere for some event and Poilievre was wonderfully disdainful crunching his apple while the reporter was trying to get his digs in.
