Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has had a tax-payer funded salary (and now, home) for over 21 years. What has he accomplished in that time? A new survey says that the majority of Canadians couldn’t tell you, either.

When will the Conservative Party wake up and start listening to Canadians? We don’t want American-style politics here.
