It was a crowded house on Saturday afternoon at the Sunset Ranch Golf & Country Club, as conservative leadership pioneer Pierre Poilievre addressed a crowd of over 1,000. “The reason I am running for prime minister is to regain control of your life, making Canada the freest nation on earth,” Poilievre told the crowd. Poilievre was surprised by the large crowd. “Look at this crowd Tracy, unbelievable. It is clear that the people of Okanagan are ready to take control of their lives again,” Poilievre said. The first stop of the Ottawa MP in Kelowna was at the BC SPCA branch. Poilievre donated $ 100 bitcoin to the BC SPCA and backed Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola MP Dan Albas’s bill to abolish taxes on Bitcoin and donate cryptocurrencies to charities. While at the branch, Poilievre gave an exclusive interview to Castanet news about his campaign and his promise of freedom. “People feel they have lost control of their lives, whether it is the fact that the government is depriving people of their medical freedom and opposing endless lockdowns. Young people have suffered from depression due to loss of access to sports and sports and social activities or people who lost their jobs simply due to medical choice and finally we have young people who have lost the freedom to have their own home because the prices of Housing is over $ 1 million in places like Vancouver. “ “So what does that mean? It means we must continue to liberalize the free enterprise economy to allow people to earn a high salary – a waterproof check for inflation, so that they can afford a house, quality food and also “controlling our own medical decisions so that we can have individual autonomy again,” Poilievre said. Poilievre recently spoke at a full student dormitory in Vancouver UBC. “Young people want to take control of their lives again. They want to live in the freest country in the world and I give them hope they can do it. My message to make Canada the freest county is inspiring to our young people. Young people want to adventure, work and pursue their dreams, in one house and raise a family all that I will allow by removing the regulators to build more houses, create more jobs, more paychecks in people’s hands “and create confusion back on the ground,” Poilievre told Castanet. The MP will take the road to the Schubert Center in Vernon at 7pm tonight. Poilievre will face Patrick Brown, Jean Charest, Leslyn Lewis, Scott Aitchison and Roman Baber. The party will elect its new leader on September 10, 2022.
