Pierre Poilievre talks international students and safe drug supply at Kitchener stop [Video]

Federal Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre toured a Kitchener tech hub on Friday, where he spoke to CTV News Kitchener about his key campaign messages.

“I’m here to share my common sense plan to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop the crime,” he explained.

Poilievre described his visit to Medical Innovation Xchange as “bittersweet.”

“Sweet because you see these incredible breakthroughs, inventions and discoveries,” he explained. “But bitter because so many of these jobs and opportunities are leaving to the United States, or other lower-taxed countries, where people are rewarded for their hard work, brains and success.”

Poilievre promised he would address that by introducing a “bring it home tax cut.”

“[It] will bring home billions of dollars of investment, of jobs, and will reward our homegrown entrepreneurs for creating technology and making us all better off,” he said.
