John Ivison: Poilievre replays his old, conspiratorial hits as his leadership review nears

Poilievre's Leadership Review and Controversial Comments

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has sparked controversy with his recent comments on the RCMP leadership, calling them "despicable" for an alleged cover-up of Liberal misadventures.

Poilievre stated that "many of the scandals of the Trudeau era should have involved jail time", specifically referencing the former prime minister's vacation on the Aga Khan's island in 2016 and the SNC Lavalin affair in 2018.

These comments have been likened to Trump-style grievance politics, which may backfire nationally. Poilievre's approach has raised questions about his strategy and whether he genuinely believes in this path to victory.

Author's summary: Poilievre's comments echo Trump-style politics.
