Pierre Pollievre will have my vote for the leadership race. The Liberals seem quite fearful of him as judged by the uptick of personal attacks on him.
The other reason is that they know he can handle himself very well in a debate in both official languages. He has a quick wit and excellent command of the facts. He was most impressive as Finance Critic especially when it comes to scandals such as the WE scandal.
He appears to champion the legitimate gun owner in Canada and is knowledgeable about the issue - something I'm not sure LL is, even if she says all the right things.
I remember how Erin O'toole got ambushed in Vancouver at the last election concerning this and came away weak, looking like a deer in the headlights. This will not happen to PP.
LL is a fine person and a true blue Conservative but her lack of French language skills will hurt her and the party in the next election debates. Like it or not mastery of the French language is essential to become leader of this country.
