While Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre promised to fight for Canada’s “common people” at a national convention this past weekend in Calgary, his party elected a governing council full of lobbyists working for some of the country’s most powerful corporations.

That didn’t stop Conservative MP Aaron Gunn from describing the Conservatives as the “party of Canadian workers.”
