The Conservative Leader uses culture war as a weapon when it is politically convenient and stays on the sidelines when it is not
, Mr. Poilievre took to Twitter again crowing that the new label proved that the CBC is nothing but “Trudeau propaganda.”
But there is another aspect of Mr. Poilievre’s political tactics in this episode: He uses culture war as a weapon when it is politically convenient and stays on the sidelines when it is not. And of course, that is why he stepped into the whole Twitter-label business. To pick a fight that suits him. His Conservative base in English Canada hates the public broadcaster. His promise to defund the CBC always got the biggest cheer at his rallies during his leadership campaign. He keeps the pot brewing because it helps him deflect questions from journalists and the Conservatives use it in fundraising campaigns.
