Poilievre's Leadership Review and Controversial Comments
According to John Ivison, Pierre Poilievre's comments on the RCMP leadership have sparked controversy, with some comparing them to Trump-style grievance politics.
Poilievre called the RCMP's leadership "despicable" for what he claimed was a cover-up of Liberal misadventures.
He specifically mentioned the former prime minister's vacation on the Aga Khan's island in 2016 and the SNC Lavalin affair in 2018, stating that "many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have involved jail time."
Poilievre's remarks have raised questions about his leadership approach and whether he genuinely believes in the politics of grievance.
