Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he believes younger Canadians have made more sacrifices than any generation since World War II, and pushed back against the prime minister’s recent comments ahead of the federal budget that Canadians must be prepared to make “some sacrifices.”
“I mean this literally … this young generation has sacrificed more than any generation since the Second World War. There is no doubt in my mind that all of you are working harder and longer for less than your parents and probably your grandparents,” Poilievre said during a rally in Toronto on Oct. 30.
