Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre responded in retaliation to a reporter’s accusation during a press conference in Prince Edward Island on Aug. 16 that he’s attempting to “court the far-right,” saying it has no basis in reality.
“I’m sorry that your question seems to be based on a false premise. You can’t even tell me who these experts are. It sounds like it’s just a CBC smear job,” Mr. Poilievre said.
