"The punishment should have been at least as equal, if not more severe, given what he did was far more severe," Baker said before the Liberal caucus meeting on Wednesday. Poilievre made that comment during question period on Monday, the one year anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, after he asked the Liberals to condemn"genocidal chants from hateful mobs on our streets."
