Pierre Poilievre was born in 1979 in Calgary, Alberta, and adopted at birth.
Raised bilingually, Poilievre's father is part of Saskatchewan’s small French-speaking community.
Growing up in the Conservative stronghold of the Canadian west shaped his political views.
Poilievre's political identity formed due to his family's struggles during Pierre Trudeau’s policies.
At 25, Poilievre became the youngest member of Canada’s House of Commons in 2004.
Known for advocating low-tax policies, Poilievre’s sharp debating style earned him political recognition.
