It is hard to see how Poilievre will increase the group of voters that would consider voting for him. And do this in the ridings that actually matter. But of course that is not really the strategy here, Poilievre wants people that could consider voting for Trudeau to stay home. He is not really going to get their vote, he needs them to stay home.
All Trudeau and the Liberals need to do is to stay positive, reasonable and avoid major screw-ups like passport delays and the like. And if necessary, the simple question for Pierre can always be: “if you are balancing the budget, what are you going to cut?”.
I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. It’s simpler than that. “Elitist” is a dog whistle, not a definition. Much like how a lot of the people who throw around “globalist” are themselves well traveled, culturally experienced people with worldwide business interests. But that’s not what “globalist” is actually referring to.
Of course Poilievre is Elite by any dictionary sense. But he’s never going to make his supporters feel bad for hating who they hate, because he hates them too. They are united in their hate and “Elitist” is simply the current dog whistle for them to public affirm their derision
