Not a Canadian - I keep seeing people ridiculing the Conservative party here on Lemmy, but I saw on wikipedia that they are currently leading the polls?

Trudeau is not popular as well, if I’m not mistaken. I know an older Canadian who hates Trudeau with passion and praises Poilievre…

Is this similar to Trump’s populism strat? What is it that the conservatives are promising to be that popular?

Edit: thanks all for the explanation, I wish the best for you guys
