Pierre Poilievre once said politicians shouldn’t stay in office for life. That was 1999. It’s 2025—he’s still here, with the same angry rhetoric and no results. Now he wants to kill public media and silence journalists. What’s he so afraid of? #SaveTheCBC #CdnPoli #Canada

Pierre Poilievre once said politicians shouldn’t stay in office for life. That was 1999. It’s 2025—he’s still here, with the same angry rhetoric and no results. Now he wants to kill public media and silence journalists. What’s he so afraid of? #SaveTheCBC #CdnPoli #Canada "Politics should not be a lifelong career, and elected officials should not be allowed to fix themselves in the halls of power of a nation... Therefore, I would institute a limit of two terms for members of Parliament" - Pierre Poilievre 1990

    The attitude hasn’t changed, though. “I know better than anyone else, and we should all do it my way, even if this topic has no bearing whatsoever on my day-to-day life.”

    Also, his political career started within a couple years of this essay. I haven’t heard of a single piece of evidence for him trying to make this happen, before or after he was elected, not even a petition. So even though people can change, there’s no evidence he agreed with this opinion as soon as it could apply to him.
