Pierre Poilievre, MP, Carleton

Pierre Poilievre is a former Minister, a six-term Member of Parliament and the Conservative Shadow Minister for Jobs and Industry. He champions free market economy where everyone gets ahead on merit, not government handouts, and where each person takes ownership of and responsibility for their own destiny.  

To make room for personal freedom and responsibility, he believes in limiting government. For example, Poilievre led the fight against crippling Liberal tax hikes on small businesses in the fall of 2017. This tax revolt forced the government to set aside some of its most damaging proposals. He is also fighting out-of-control deficit spending and tax increases. More recently, he has demanded the government reveal the true cost to families and businesses of its proposed carbon taxes. The government has so far redacted these costs, in what has become known as the “Carbon Tax Cover-Up”.

Poilievre is also a champion for jobs for people with disabilities, introducing a bill that would allow workers on disability assistance to keep more in wages than they lose to clawbacks and taxes. 

Poilievre lives in the Eastern Ontario Village of Greely with his wife Anaida and their daughter Valentina.
