DESCRIPTION:Departmental Speakers Series Talk by Efe Peker\, Department of 
 Sociology\, University of Ottawa.\n	\n	Abstract: Since becoming leader of th
 e Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) in 2022\, Pierre Poilievre has often 
 been cast as a populist\, with frequent comparisons to Donald Trump. This 
 paper assesses the accuracy of such claims by applying multidimensional th
 eories of populism\, which examine ideology\, communication style\, and or
 ganizational strategy. Based on a qualitative content analysis of the 2022
 –2025 period\, findings reveal a mixed picture. While Poilievre’s core ide
 ological and policy positions remain rooted in Harper-era neoliberalism an
 d law-and-order priorities\, his communication style—featuring anti-elite 
 rhetoric\, crisis framing\, and combative messaging—signals a marked popul
 ist shift. Organizationally\, he preserves CPC structures but seeks to tra
 nsform them through stricter discipline\, outsider narratives\, and direct
  digital outreach that sidelines traditional media. Beyond the Canadian ca
 se\, the paper contributes to broader debates by operationalizing a multid
 imensional framework for analyzing contemporary populist politics.\n
