Pierre Poilievre hopes to cash in on his war on the media
, Pierre Poilievre made clear in campaign stops across the country who the enemies were.
This is vital, especially if some of your proposals are deeply flawed, or your statements about the current government are patently false. You want to undermine the public’s faith in those who might be drawing attention to matters that don’t reflect well on you or your party. This week, the Conservative Leader called a news conference to discuss the Liberal government’s announced moves to help those struggling with inflation. Before he could really get going, though, he was interrupted several times by Global News reporter David Akin, who wanted to know why Mr. Poilievre was not going to take questions. Mr. Poilievre referred to Mr. Akin as a “Liberal heckler.”
But it didn’t take long for Mr. Poilievre to get a fundraising letter out highlighting what ad taken place. “You won’t believe this,” it began. “I couldn’t believe it, and it happened to me.” He said Mr. Akin had hurled obscenities at the Conservative Leader before shouting at him. Pointedly, the letter from the Leader of the Opposition mentioned Mr. Akin by name, which will almost certainly make him a subject of threats and abuse.
