Poilievre’s campaign team strictly limits media access at stops, with just four questions allowed from handpicked reporters.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s campaign team strictly limits media access at stops, with just four questions from handpicked reporters. A campaign source says the strategy is about limiting risk, but some frustrated journalists are pushing back.
“A leader who muzzles reporters, controls the questions, and limits press time isn’t showing strength—he’s hiding something”
CTV reporter Judy Trinh shouted a question about #Poilievre’s refusal to get security clearance.
"Excuse me there's an activist here," PP said, and ignored her question.
The Conservative leader had confined the press in an 8x 8 metre pen away from his podium set in an empty parking lot.
From editorial cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon (with permission):
"I drew this last November 26th knowing full well no self-respecting family newspaper in the country would be likely to print it. I was right. But given the events of this weekend, I’m gonna to let ‘er rip anyway."
