Poilievre misses Pride flag raising, says he was working late
flag raising on Parliament Hill Thursday because he had been up late working the night before.
The press conference began just as the Pride flag was being raised outside the House of Commons – an event attended by other party leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May.
Responding to a question at a press conference last week, Poilievre wished “everyone a happy Pride month, because our freedom is something in which all of us can take pride.” Police-reported hate crime data is imperfect, and likely understates the total number of crimes where a person’s sexual orientation was a factor.
