Meat gravy is fine, but meat pieces are not part of poutine.

From Wikipedia (the font of all knowledge, or so they think) -
Some restaurants in Montreal offer poutine with such additions as bacon, or Montreal-style smoked meat, although these are not as common. Poutine Dulton, which is offered in a few places, is made with ground beef, onions, and sausages. Some such restaurants even boast a dozen or more variations of poutine. For instance, more upscale poutine with three-pepper sauce, Merguez sausage, foie gras or even caviar and truffle can be found

Poutine is one dish served best without any meat added.
^ That's very informative Mr. GoogleMark, but I didn't see any mention of steak and onion pie.

It must be an English version Deyana - pie, chips and gravy.

But Mark, steak and kidney pie is a famous British dish!

Exactly.
All that's happened I suspect is that the Canadians have adapted a traditional British dish, missed out one of the main ingredients, a meat pie, and because of the French influence have come up with adding cheese to it.
After all the French love their cheese.

I see that some places in Québec are renaming this delicacy so that it doesn't have the same name as Vladimir Putin (Poutine in French). I think this is a mistake, because Putin is a temporary anomaly in the world while poutine is here to stay.
Nevertheless, Le Roy Jucep in Drummondville has taken poutine off the menu and simply renamed it frite-fromage-sauce.
The Frites Alors! chain, present throughout Québec but also with some addresses in France (I'll have to verify this) used to call its poutine "Vladimir" but has now changed it to "Volodymyr."
Food is more important than people, and they should not bow down to the self importance of this person.
