About this listen

When Pierre Poilievre was elected leader of Canada's Conservative party in 2022, he vowed to put Canadians back in control of their own lives.

He took aim at the country's elites and gatekeepers as well as governments that sneer at their own citizens. Railing against the housing crisis and spiralling inflation, Poilievre was telling ordinary Canadians he was on their side.

As the adopted son of two Alberta teachers, Poilievre knows the middle class. But he's also the embodiment of a career politician, having spent nearly his entire adult life in politics.

In Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life, journalist Andrew Lawton chronicles Poilievre's life, career, and his unique brand of conservatism which has galvanized supporters and detractors alike. The portrait that emerges is of a radically authentic yet intensely calculating individual who has been plotting his path to be Canada's prime minister since he was a teenager.

Well written and researched. Highly engaging. Mediocre performance. Reader mispronounced words like "Khmer", showing ignorance of the subject matter. I would have preferred Andrew Lawton reading his own book.

Guy can be cold, calculating, very determined, and demanding!! Might just turn out to be a man for these times!! Like how he calls out the bias media and talks common sense issues. His wife Anna just may be his secret weapon for all Canadians to!!

I came in wanting a more fleshed out understanding of who Pierre is and what formed him that way. I think I got that. I enjoy Andrew's writing style and this was no exception.

Very informative
