National Post: 'Colin Horgan, who has worked on Liberal campaigns, wrote in a Medium post that Poilievre’s “populist pitch” on affordability appeared to be working, and even compared it to Justin Trudeau’s 2015 messaging about uplifting the “middle class.” “Affordability is the new middle class. And Pierre Poilievre is talking about in a way that makes people want to listen. Watch out,” wrote Horgan.
'Poilievre’s housing proposals have even won praise among liberal circles in the United States. In a recent column published in the Washington Post, the centre-left writer Matthew Yglesias said the anti-NIMBY sentiments being pushed by Poilievre and others should be a model to U.S. Republicans. “If federal action to discourage municipal overregulation is good enough for the Canadian right, then it should be good enough for the American right, too,” he wrote.'
