Some amount of conflict is inherent to democracy — particularly so in a political system that prominently features His Majesty's Loyal Opposition. And hyperbole has probably existed for as long as humans have been able to communicate.

But has any Canadian politician in recent memory embraced rhetorical conflict as enthusiastically as Pierre Poilievre?

For the Conservative leader, there seems to be no such thing as overstatement. And he seems to feel it's almost always worth going on the attack.

People stop thinking when they're angry. It's just that easy.

Cons keep the populace pissed off enough at literally anything, and they don't have to put together a single rational policy statement because oTheR GuY BaD!!

Disgusts me to see that "hate your neighbour" has become the mantra of the CPC, and it seems to be succeeding.
