Pierre Poilievre avoids denouncing white supremacists in the Commons

Pierre Poilievre on Monday sidestepped a Liberal question asked in the House of Commons explicitly inviting him to condemn “supporters of white supremacy, anarchy and misogyny.” It’s “petty politics,” they retort in the conservative leader’s camp.

His deputies then applauded him wildly and shouted so loudly that his words were inaudible. He went on to falsely assert that Mr. Trudeau accepted support from Hamas.

The Liberals have been emphasizing in broad strokes for several days that the symbol of the anti-government and far-right group Diagolon is drawn on the door of a trailer that Mr. Poilievre visited while going to encourage demonstrators against carbon pricing who installed a camp on the side of a highway on the border of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

The Liberals also note that Mr. Poilievre does not disavow the support he received at the beginning of the month from notorious American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who denies a massacre perpetrated in a school and which Mr. Trudeau describes asjunk.

And faced with the comment that Mr. Poilievre had just made to him, Mr. MacKinnon said that it shows the real face from the Conservative leader.

He speaks without conviction and without clarity on an issue that should be very, very, very simple for him, he declared to the cries of conservatives. His silence speaks volumes. This is not leadership. This is political cowardice.

Small politics

Shortly after question period, Conservative Deputy House Leader Luc Berthold was asked in a press scrum if he was embarrassed that his leader was not condemning white supremacists and anarchists. .

According to the explanation from the Conservative leader’s office, Mr. Poilievre decided to make a brief impromptu stop noticing a demonstration against carbon pricing on his way while traveling between two events in the Maritimes.

As for Alex Jones’ support, his spokesperson Marion Ringuette indicated that unlike Justin Trudeauconservatives neither follow nor listen to this individualbut instead strive to win the support of Canadians.
