Poilievre packs Vaughan rally with pivotal election days away
The burning question remains: does rally attendance translate into electoral success?
It was a typical Pierre Poilievre rally in Vaughan, Ont., last Tuesday.
Which is to say, the venue was jam-packed, with some estimating the crowd to be around 5,000 people. As well, the number of young people in attendance was noticeable. And the atmosphere was a combination of joyousness and hope. Translation: it was the complete opposite of the fear and loathing one witnesses at a Mark Carney rally – assuming you can even get past the censorious gatekeepers, that is. As for the dominant demographic at a Carney rally? Let’s put it this way: it’s less the newlywed and more the nearly dead.
At the Vaughan rally, an issue that was very much on many minds was a Privy Council report that indicates a dire situation for Canada in the near future.
Indeed, a federal think tank is warning that Canada could face a dramatic social and economic breakdown within 15 years. This includes mass emigration by wage earners, a surge in mental health crises, and widespread illegal hunting and foraging for food among the poor.
The report, entitled Future Lives: Social Mobility In Question, paints a dystopian future for our dominion come 2040.
It was not lost on the Pierre Poilievre supporters that the decline and rot is already in play thanks to “the lost Liberal decade” as the Conservative leader labels the past 10 years.
As for Mark Carney painting himself as “an outsider” and “an agent for change”, many attendees reacted with scoffs and laughter given Carney was Justin Trudeau’s economic adviser for the past five years.
And supporters also universally rejected the poll numbers which, a few months ago, forecasted a Conservative landslide but now indicate that the election will be a photo-finish horse race.
We will have a definitive answer come April 28.
