Conservative Pierre Poilievre’s politics aren’t just about populism — they’re grounded in Milton Friedman’s radical vision of free markets. If he is elected prime minister, Poilievre promises a Canada where the welfare state is “out of business.”

    So basically, anything that government is doing that corporations could do, he’s arguing that they should be doing, “because freedom”.

    I’m unconvinced that with more libertarian economic policies, I will feel more “free”, and that this supposed freedom will make my life better.
