The Cover of "Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre" by Mark Bourrie. Review by Marc D. Froese

The Cover of "Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre" by Mark Bourrie. Review by Marc D. Froese

Mark Bourrie’s Ripper takes Poilievre seriously. Instead of focusing on his smarm and snark, his thin skin and casual cruelty, Bourrie composed an urgent narrative about creeping right-wing authoritarianism.
