Poilievre has an anti-choice record despite now claiming to be pro-choice, his attacks on reporters are ‘antithetical to democratic values,’ and he has marched and taken photos with far-right extremists. Poilievre is not your neighbour, Nerenberg writes: he’s a professional politician using Trump-style tactics. Nerenberg isn’t the only one to criticize the new leader. In a speech from the Liberal caucus retreat on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau congratulated Poilievre on his leadership victory and said that the government has been making “every effort” to work with all politicians. However, Trudeau took a dig at Poilievre by adding “this doesn’t mean that we’re not going to be calling out highly questionable, reckless economic ideas.” Ahead of the return to Parliament on September 19, Nerenberg says we should remember Poilievre’s backstory, which he now seems to want Canadians to forget. Nerenberg concludes: “We have a duty to tell the whole truth about the new leader of the opposition.” |
