Canada’s Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, known for his aggressive political style, proposed a “three strikes and you’re out” law at a Brampton rally, appealing to voters concerned about crime and immigration. However, as the general election approaches, he has lost a significant lead in polls to Liberal leader Mark Carney, who is perceived as a stabilizing force against the backdrop of U.S. economic threats. Poilievre’s approach, while energizing some supporters, risks alienating centrist voters, particularly women, and is challenged by his inability to pivot from a divisive narrative.
