    • Poilievre's 'full frontal assault' on BoC a part of his anti-establishment strategy: Nanos

    Share

    With rising interest rates and an overwhelming majority of Canadians worried about a recession, Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre is tapping into growing unease about the economy -- and his recent attack on the Bank of Canada is all part of his strategy, according to pollster Nik Nanos.

    A Nanos Research survey for the found that four out of five Canadians (81per cent) were either concerned or somewhat concerned about Canada heading into a recession. Only seven per cent of those surveyed expressed no concern.

    It鈥檚 in this environment that Poilievre, the perceived frontrunner for the Conservative leadership, went after the Bank of Canada, calling it a 鈥溾 institution. 

    鈥淭his puts into clarity what the Poilievre strategy is. He is the anti-establishment candidate,鈥 said Nanos on the latest episode of CTV鈥檚 Trend Line. 鈥淭hat's his positioning.鈥

    Nanos added it鈥檚 likely 鈥済ood positioning鈥 for him against leadership opponent Jean Charest, who was a former Progressive Conservative member of the Brian Mulroney cabinet and premier of Quebec.

    Nanos said Poilievre is effectively targeting the portion of the electorate that perceives the system as broken and needs to be recast.

    鈥淎nd I think that's why we're seeing Pierre Poilievre do a full frontal assault on the Bank of Canada. And you know what? Expect more, because this is his core positioning, him as the anti-establishment outsider, there as an agent of change and then the other candidates as the establishment.鈥

    When the Liberal government chopped a planned beer excise tax hike to two per cent from 4.5 per cent and froze future increases until after the next election, says political columnist Don Martin, it almost guaranteed a similar carbon tax move in the offing.
