About this Event
Join journalist Martin Lukacs and Parkland Institute executive director Ricardo Acuña for a conversation about the new book The Poilievre Project: A radical blueprint for corporate rule.
Published by The Breach, the book reveals the playbook behind the Conservative leader’s rise and exposes his radical vision for reshaping Canada. With sharp analysis, Lukacs traces Poilievre’s trajectory from his early embrace of free-market fundamentalism to later efforts to rebrand his agenda of deregulation, privatization, and cutbacks as worker-friendly populism.

The event is in collaboration with The Parkland Insitute.
Books will be available for purchase at the event.
