Pollievre can talk out the side of his mouth all he likes about what he’s going to do for us regular people, but it’s entirely clear where he stands, because it’s where his party has always stood. Conservatives are, from their inception, the defenders of institutional power, and today that means being the defenders of the wealthy, no more, no less.
