from The Canadianist · host Christopher M. Michaud
Hello friends, fellow Canadians.In this episode, I take a closer look at Pierre Poilievre and the question that keeps coming up after another Conservative loss.Is the problem that Canadians aren’t hearing the message, or that they are?After four straight election losses for the Conservative Party of Canada, it’s becoming harder to argue this is about reach. The message has been consistent, repeated, and widely broadcast.So why isn’t it converting?I break down why repetition doesn’t equal persuasion, why speaking to your base isn’t the same as building a majority, and what it means when voters leave other parties and still don’t choose you.We also look at the shift toward U.S. podcast appearances and what that says about engagement with Canadian media, and whether avoiding tough questions is helping or hurting.At a certain point, the issue isn’t how far the message travels.It’s whether it lands.
