An Acerbic Assessment

I'll start by saying that I have little use for Pierre Poilievre. His schtick, which largely revolves around catchy rhyming phraseology ("Axe the Tax'" Hard Time For Hard Crime",  "Jail, Not Bail", the enigmatic but non-rhyming "Let's Bring It Home", etc.) instead of substantive policy articulation, is an insult to all who expect their intelligence to be respected. I will admit, however, that thus far it seems to be working for him, if the polls are any indication.

The following video of his recent sit-down with the always aggrieved and, quite frankly, unwell Jordan Peterson, is worth watching. In it, journalist Rachel Gilmore parses some of PP's proclamations during the interview, exposing his shallow/misleading thinking for what it is. If you don't have time to watch the entire nine minutes, I would recommend viewing the last three minutes, which are certainly revelatory.
