Oh, but he HAS said what it means.

  • “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) and “environmental, social and governance” (ESG) ideologies are garbage
  • Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday he is only aware of two genders — male and female
  • [when] asked whether he would ask the U.S. to recognize the gender-neutral “X” marker available on Canadian passports, Poilievre pivoted to talking about the cost of living instead
  • Poilievre vows to repeal environmental assessment law to fast-track resource projects
  • Poilievre told his supporters that the Liberal government had driven investment away from Canada by pursuing an agenda of "radical net-zero environmental extremism."
  • Poilievre promised to use the notwithstanding clause to impose consecutive life sentences on multiple murderers. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2022 that imposing consecutive life sentences violates an offender's Charter rights
  • Introduced bill Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one women to the exclusion of all others'
  • Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
  • Said wearing a niqab at a citizenship ceremony is "not in line with Canadian values."

And his actions since day one have backed this up.

He apologized as soon as he got pushback. (Assuming this is the same one you're referring to)

In a lot of ways I think that's worse: he's an asshole until he's called on it, and then he hides behind an apology. It's right up there with "just a prank bro."
