Poilievre rejects responsibility for his toxic politics:
Poilievre’s style as a politician over the course of his career has
been one of a conservative attack dog. His campaign to become the next
leader of the CPC has been particularly toxic due to his attempts to use
disgraced former U.S. president Donald Trump as an example to follow.
During the course of his leadership campaign, Poilievre has stepped
up his personal attacks on not only his political opponents, but like
Trump, has chosen the media as a fertile field from which he can farm
the outrage of his supporters.
Also like Trump, he has made efforts to connect his campaign with
far-right extremists. Most recently, he had been photographed with
Jeremy MacKenzie, the de facto leader of the Diagolon cult. MacKenzie
has gone on social media calling for the execution
of Canadian Armed Forces personnel. He has encouraged his followers to
harass health care professionals, and is facing assault and weapons
charges in Sask., and weapons charges in N.S. in an unrelated case as
well.
