Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau divided Canadians by his speech and actions against the Freedom Convoy, despite Justice Paul Rouleau’s conclusion that the use of the Emergencies Act to clear convoy protests was justifiable.
In his press conference in Calgary on Feb. 17, Poilievre didn’t refute Rouleau’s finding, but accused the governing Liberals of using division tactics rather than focusing on important national issues.
“After eight years of Justin Trudeau, everything feels broken. But instead of fixing those things, or at least taking responsibility for breaking them, the Prime Minister seeks to divide and distract. So he thinks that if you’re afraid of your neighbour, you’ll forget that you can’t pay your rent; if you’re afraid of a trucker, you might forget that you’re hungry, and take your eyes off of the guy who caused the problem in the first place,” Poilievre said….
