OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has rebuffed criticisms of his party’s vetting process after he dropped four candidates in less than 48 hours.
Instead, the Conservative leader said he was better than Liberal Leader Mark Carney at handling situations involving controversial candidates because he has responded to concerning allegations more quickly.
“Our vetting process is stronger than all the other parties. That’s why we have a zero tolerance for anyone who acts unacceptably,” Poilievre said at a news conference in Kingston.
