The unorthodox nuptials were perhaps a signal to the world that this was not a run-of-the-mill Conservative political wife, but one with her own unique character — and potential to be an asset for the party as it strives to shake loose the Liberal hold on power. Anaida solidified that image Saturday night in an animated speech introducing her husband — and herself — after he won the Tory leadership race. She evoked her roots in Venezuela, migration to a new country and hard-scrabble upbringing in Montreal, painting a portrait of the type of salt-of-the-earth Canadian that Poilievre seems to view as his natural constituency. “My father, he went from wearing business suits and managing a bank to jumping on the back of a pickup truck to collect fruits and vegetables, because that’s what he had to do to feed his family,” said Anaida. “There is no greater dignity than to provide for your own family.” By Tom Blackwell.

Traducción de cortesía -> Las nupcias poco ortodoxas fueron quizás una señal para el mundo de que no se trataba de una esposa política conservadora común y corriente, sino de una con su propio carácter único, y el potencial de ser un activo para el partido en su lucha por liberarse del poder. Permanencia liberal en el poder. Anaida solidificó esa imagen el sábado por la noche en un discurso animado en el que presentó a su esposo, y a ella misma, después de que ganó la carrera por el liderazgo conservador. Ella evocó sus raíces en Venezuela, la migración a un nuevo país y la crianza en Montreal, pintando un retrato del tipo de canadiense como la sal de la tierra que Poilievre parece ver como su electorado natural. “Mi padre, pasó de usar trajes de negocios y administrar un banco a subirse a la parte trasera de una camioneta para recolectar frutas y verduras, porque eso era lo que tenía que hacer para alimentar a su familia”, dijo Anaida. “No hay mayor dignidad que mantener a tu propia familia”.
