Lloyd Brown-John : Pierre Poilievre has been hammering away with his “ Axe the Tax ” slogan for painfully long.

He says the problem with preaching populist slogans on the path into political office is straightforward.

Poilevre needs to offer Canadians solid public policy alternatives and not cutesy slogans, he says.

An aspiring prime minister must understand that theatrical slogans work in opposition but once in office responsibility demands dramatic change.
