The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that it was a bit rich to hear Federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre open a speech to Bay Street executives on Friday by expressing his personal disdain for Bay Street when he was fresh from a fundraiser hosted by executives at Canaccord Genuity Group. The Globe's Andrew Willis writes that Mr. Poilievre finished his remarks to a packed house at the C.D. Howe Institute sounding very much like a prime minister. To win an election, Mr. Poilievre is clearly going to keep bashing perceived elites and playing the populist. To actually run the country, Mr. Willis says Mr. Poilievre will need to roll out fresh ideas -- and a refreshing acceptance of accountability. Mr. Willis says Mr. Poilievre did just that, drawing numerous rounds of applause from what started as a skeptical business audience. Mr. Willis says some of what Mr. Poilievre had to say came across as patronizing, bordering on offensive. To his credit, The Globe says Mr. Poilievre spent the back half of his remarks giving concrete examples of how he plans to get the country working better. After breaking bread at the C.D. Howe, Mr. Willis says Mr. Poilievre is better prepared for his next job in Ottawa.
