WATCH: Poilievre draws 4,000 supporters at Hamilton rally
Tory leader Pierre Poilievre on Tuesday night drew another huge crowd as he reiterated his promises to working class Canadians.
Poilievre on Sunday held a rally in north Toronto, where a crowd of more than 2,500 people attended.
Liberal leader and Prime Minister Mark Carney also held a rally Sunday night in Newfoundland. About 200 people showed up, not counting the hoards of angry fishermen that came to protest Liberal policies that threaten their livelihoods.
More than 4,000 people attended a rally in Hamilton and cheered on the Tory leader as he vowed to build pipelines and infrastructure, strengthen the military, crack down on crime, deal with opioid addiction and begin inspecting shipping containers at the border.
As the Western Standard earlier reported, a CBSA agent recently admitted less than 1% of imports are searched at the border, and zero by rail.
Anaida Poilievre, the Conservative leader's wife, took to the stage ahead if him, where she shared her story of immigrating to Canada as a child with her parents in 1995.
When she introduced Poilievre, the crowd burst into cheers for several minutes before he began his opening remarks.
Poilievre told the crowd in detail his plan to not only defund the state broadcaster, but to convert it into homes — telling them it "warms [his] heart" to think about a hard-working Canadian going home to a place he can afford with his family waiting for him, and it's where the CBC used to be.
He also addressed explosive findings pertaining to Carney, and a loan worth a quarter billion dollars for Brookfield Asset Management from the Bank of China, the holdings company Carney chaired up until he announced his candidacy for Liberal leadership on January 16.
This hefty loan means Carney is under the thumb of Beijing, argued Poilievre.
Poilievre also confirmed his promise to lower income tax for working class Canadians by 15%, unleash the Ring of Fire in northern Ontario, ban his party members from any affiliation with the World Economic Forum, slash immigration and permanently eliminate the carbon tax.
