Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative Party leader in Canada, was seen carrying his 6-year-old daughter on his shoulders as he interacted with well-wishers in his electoral district in Ottawa. He reminisced about visiting a dairy farm 21 years ago and recalled the farmer, Mark Alexander, who had not received his Conservative membership card due to an error by the party. Mr. Poilievre’s campaign focuses on lowering taxes, reducing government size, personal freedom, and supporting the oil industry. However, his style of politics and association with Donald Trump have become liabilities, with some voters turning away from him. He is considered one of Canada’s most skilled campaigners but faces challenges in adapting to the changing political landscape.
