Conservative debate: Poilievre fends off attacks, promises to fire BoC governorSix candidates vying for the Conservative leadership all framed the country - and the party - as deeply divided at the first official debate on Wednesday, and took turns pointing fingers at one rival they accuse of driving disunity in the race. Poilievre dooms the party. Canadians with an IQ over 70 see through his BS and won’t vote for him. He’ll only get the fringe vote, which is irrelevant!
