Some equally eyebrow-raising remarks were uttered by Kory Teneycke, who has been Ford’s campaign manager from 2018 to 2025 and who also worked on Elliott’s campaign, on a recent episode of Curse of Politics, which is The Herle Burly’s Political Panel Podcast. While comparing Poilievre and, to a lesser extent, former Conservative leader Andrew Scheer to Prime Minister Mark Carney, he said, “when you elect leaders who are completely and utterly unaccomplished prior to entering politics and who have entered politics in their 20s, you are going to be very vulnerable as the leader of that party to running against somebody who has actually done something with their life.”
