Poilievre's Comments Spark Controversy
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's recent comments have drawn comparisons to Trump-style grievance politics.
Poilievre called the RCMP's leadership "despicable" on the Northern Perspective podcast, citing a supposed cover-up of Liberal scandals.
Many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have involved jail time
He specifically mentioned the former prime minister's 2016 vacation on the Aga Khan's island and the SNC Lavalin affair in 2018.
Poilievre's approach risks backfiring nationally, echoing a style of politics that may not resonate with all Canadians.
