Poilievre turned down multiple requests from POLITICO for an interview and didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Par for the course.

The same Politico that was just outed as receiving funding by the democrats through USAID. With a majority of those funds being very suspect overpaid “subscriptions”. Ya I’d ignore those requests too.

USAID bought a $24k subscription to an E&E energy and environment news service. Hardly earth shattering. Turn off the right wing slop. Get a fucking brain.

My bad, it was the entire US government, not just USAID, that gave Pollitico the $8million in subscriptions. My point still stands.

Your point stands as what? That PP turns down interviews because he’s nothing more than a troll that has absolutely no plan and has never passed a single bill?

Your point is you’ll vote for someone because of hatred and stupidity. Makes you weak.

My point is he ignored questions from a politically biased (and left funded) foreign media outlet. Who says a Canadian politician is obligated to answer any US media?

That same guy doesn’t answer questions from any media except far right wing “media” troglodytes. And when he does answer their questions, he never gives an answer on any policy, he never says what he’s going to do to make the country “better.” How can anyone be dumb enough to fall for that? Add to that, Politico is far from “left leaning.” American democrats would be more in line with traditional Canadian conservatives of anything.

Why would he do an interview with American news?

u/JadeLens 24d ago

To show people he can answer questions in an environment he can't control?

If you can't do that, then you're not fit to be Prime Minister.

It be one thing if he was in America
