In his first media availability since two MPs announced they’re leaving his caucus, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he plans to continue leading the party as he has been.
When asked by a reporter to respond to comments by former Conservative MP Chris d’Entremont — who last Tuesday announced he was crossing the floor to the Liberals and later blamed Poilievre’s leadership style for his decision — Poilievre quoted previous remarks made by the defected MP in the House.
“First of all, I just quote Mr. d’Entremont,” Poilievre said, in response to the question about his leadership style, before reading d’Entremont’s previous criticisms of the Liberal government, including “out-of-control spending and massive deficits.”
