"Pierre Poilievre is a clown"

During an interview on TVA’s Le Bilan on Monday night, Magali Picard, president of the FTQ (Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec) union, referred to Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre as “a clown” and said that the way he responds to journalists and refers to his politics rivals is “appalling.”

Picard also compared Poilievre negatively with former Conservative prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark, who she viewed as proud heads of state who acted accordingly, during their time — despite her differing points of view with them. By contrast, Poilievre, she said, is more representative of Trump-style politics.
