Conservative Party of Canada Leader Pierre Poilievre delivered an electionstyle speech to its convention floor in Quebec City, Que., on Friday, the first inperson policy convention since 2018 and Poilievre's first address as party leader.
"I want to thank my own parents," Poilievre said to a sea of supporters bathed in blue stage lights. "It's because they made the decision to adopt me and work hard in front of a classroom that I now stand proudly in front of this room."
Poilievre promised Conservatives would restore hope to a country weary of a high cost of living, amplifying his messageturnedrally cry of 'Bring it Home,' which supporters chanted before he even took the stage.
Poilievre was introduced by his wife, Anaida, who spoke of the sacrifices the pair are making as a family with two young children, one with special needs, in pursuing the country's highest office. She added "The job ahead is great and it is not an easy one, but it is a very important one."
Throughout his nearly onehour speech, Poilievre listed what he would do if he were to win: Speed up credential recognition for skilled immigrants, incentivize cities to get more homes built, and develop more of the country's natural resources.
