So far this campaign Mark Carney has taken over THREE times the questions from reporters than Pierre Poilievre. No screening of questions. He also allows follow ups, which any journo knows are crucial, get beyond a dodge talking point. If you have the ideas and policy, why are you afraid? #cdnpoli

What a load of crap. The Globe is publishing op-eds from any former hack that will defend the CPC. They note that he worked for Mulroney and Charest…
But Peter White also worked alongside Conrad Black to build up Hollinger. He convinced Black to go into the newspaper business in 1969.

Opinion: Pierre Poilievre can still become prime minister – with a major strategy shift
He must offer Canada ideas for a coherent national project, not just a laundry list of complaints

I've been waiting for this updated travel advisory.
"If you are denied entry, you could be detained while awaiting deportation," the website now reads."
Travel to the US has already plummeted. It's only going to get worse.

At the end of this trade war, America is going to be left shattered and isolated. Meanwhile, the rest of the world will forge closer trade and security ties, resulting in stronger and more resilient economies that are less tied up in U.S. drama.

Turns out today is ANOTHER good day for Pierre Poilievre to prove to Canadians that he’s actually capable of passing the standard & normal security check, & get the security clearance that he’s refused to get.
Until he does, I’m continuing to assume that it’s because he knows that he can’t pass it.

WATCH: The gloves are off! It’s been an under-reported scandal for quite a while that Pierre Poilievre refuses to apply for security clearance. It was a scandal EVEN BEFORE the most recent efforts to undermine Canada’s democracy, sovereignty and economy from Trump, Musk and the GOP.

Oh FFS.
Poilievre has literally stood in the House of Comments and referenced far-right conspiracy theories.
